Google and Microsoft Forms were built to conduct surveys. They lack many Quizzing features. AutoProctor's Socratease Quizzes are meant only to evaluate candidates. To learn how to create a Socratease Quiz, visit this link.

Advantages of using Socratease Quizzes

Single Submit button: One issue with other Quizzes is that the candidate needs to click on 2 Submit buttons. If they don't do it in the right order, their answers may be lost. With a Socratease quiz, the candidate clicks on only 1 Submit button. Click here to learn more about this.
Multiple Question Types: We don't have just MCQs and essay-type questions. You can ask the candidate to answer via their Voice, you can upload a PDF and ask questions based on that, you can even make candidates drag and drop items to match answers. See all your Question Types on this link.
Auto-submit Test: With non-Socratease Quizzes, say you have enabled the Auto-submit option in the Test Settings. If the student doesn't submit the test on time,

Question 4

Things you *NEED* to know

Accepted Answer

Please read through these instructions very carefully. To date, hundreds of thousands of students have used AutoProctor. There are a few mistakes that are commonly committed. Due to these mistakes, either the students cannot take the test, or all the answers they submit are lost. If you follow these instructions properly, all this can be avoided!

No File Upload question in your Google Form: File Uploads are not compatible with AutoProctor. All other types of Questions are allowed.
Share Instructions with Students: Almost all the issues students face can be avoided if they read and follow instructions. If you are using only a Timer, read and share these instructions. If you are using the Proctor too, share these instructions. Most importantly, the instructions have a link to a demo test. Let your students take the demo test at least 24 hours before their actual test, so they know how to use the system.
Students must click on both Submit Buttons, else their answers will be lost: As mentioned in the Instructions above, there are two Submit Buttons within AutoProctor. If the students don’t click the Purple Button, all their answers will be lost. If you do not see their answers in the Responses section, this is the cause behind it! If they don’t click on the Purp

Question 5

What devices are compatible with AutoProctor's proctoring?

Accepted Answer

Browser and Device Compatibility

AutoProctor's proctoring algorithms depend on a few features that the test taker's browser and device must provide. For example, for video proctoring, we need access to the device's camera and the browser must allow us access to the camera feed.

The table below shows different operating systems and browsers and what their minimum version needs to be in order for the test taker to be able to start the test. If a browser and operating system combination isn't shown here (for example, Brave browser on Windows), it means that test takers cannot attempt the test on that browser.

| Operating System | Browser | Minimum Version | | ---- | | Windows | Chrome | 82 | | Windows | Firefox | 78 | | Windows | Edge | 88 | | Linux | Chrome | 82 | | MacOS | Safari | 12 | | MacOS | Chrome | 82 | | MacOS | Firefox | 78 | | Android | Chrome | 82 | | iOS (iPad/iPhone) | Safari | 14.1 | | iOS (iPad/iPhone) (OS Version > 16.1) | Chrome | 82 |

Question 6

What do the different AutoProctor Settings mean on the Google Form Add-On?🤔

Accepted Answer

In this post, we will take a look at the different settings on an AutoProctor Test. These are the Settings you can configure as a Test Administrator. They cover settings related to Timing, Proctoring and the Classroom.

Main Settings

When you first load the Settings Sidebar on Google Forms, you should see a screen like the one above. There are 3 tabs at the top: Main, Timer and Proctor. By default, the Settings opens with the Main tab.

We have added some number labels in red to make it easier to describe what each item does:

Number of tests remaining: This item tells you how many Tests are remaining according to your plan. Every time a test-taker finishes a test on AutoProctor, this number will decrease by 1. You can click on the link to open your account on AutoProctor. You can add more tests to your account there.
Enable Timer: This setting allows you to toggle between enabling and disabling Timer. The details about the Timer Settings are available in the Timer tab. But, if you disable the Timer here, even if the Timer has Settings, the test will not have a Timer. You need not save this setting. Just clicking on the checkbox to the left of the option automatically saves the option.
Enable Proctor: This toggles between enabling and disabling Proctoring. The same logic as that o
