Before your exam begins, V8 Proctoring asks you to complete a 360° room scan using your camera. This step helps confirm that your exam environment is secure, distraction-free, and compliant with exam rules. Without completing the room scan, the system can’t verify your surroundings, which may prevent you from starting or continuing the exam.

✅ Why to perform a 360° room scan

What we checkWhy it matters
Presence of other peopleEnsures no one else is assisting you during the exam
Unauthorized items (notes, books, devices)Confirms no external help or reference material is available
Extra screens or electronic devicesPrevents unfair advantages or policy violations
Overall room visibilityConfirms the full exam area is visible and monitored
Distraction-free setupReduces interruptions and unnecessary alerts during the exam

💡 How the 360° room scan helps you

  • The scan is done once, before the exam starts
  • It helps avoid interruptions, warnings, or session flags during your test
  • The recording is used only for exam verification and reviewed only if required
  • Your privacy is respected, and all data is stored securely
Completing the scan upfront helps your exam run smoothly so you can focus fully on answering questions.
Tips for a successful room scan
  • Remove books, papers, and extra devices from your desk
  • Choose a quiet room with good lighting
  • Move your camera slowly and steadily during the scan
  • Make sure all corners of the room are visible
