prohibited device overview

Students are not permitted to have possession of any electronic devices at any time during testing, nor during breaks, even if they do not use them. This includes, but is not limited to, cell phones, smartphones, smartwatches, and smartglasses. Students may not have possession of these devices even if they are turned off or students do not use them. Specific information regarding how to collect and store electronic devices during the exam will vary from school to school. To learn your school's procedures for device collection, check with your test coordintaor. Under no circumstance should students have access to any prohibited electronic device during the exam. If a student is found with a prohibited device during the test, even if they do not use it, notify your school's test coordinator immediately.

SMARTPHONES

Students may not have a smartphone in their possession during testing, including breaks, even if they do not use it.The presence of these devices could result in a test irregulary:

  • messaging about the test to others
  • looking up information online
  • utilizing AI to generate responses to test prompts
  • taking photos of the test itself, compromising the integrity of the assessment for future use
Collecting phones at the beginning of an exam is not always a foolproof measure, as some students have resorted to bringing two or more devices into the testing environment. It is crucial for test administrators to remain vigilant and actively monitor the testing room to prevent students from accessing or utilizing unauthorized devices during the exam.

SMARTWATCHES

Students may not have a smartwatch in their possession during testing, including breaks, even if they do not use it. The presence of these devices poses a security risk due to their capabilities for academic dishonesty. Smartwatches can be used to message others about the test, access stored information, potentially look up answers online (often by connecting to a phone or netwrok), utilize AI functionalities, or even take photos of the test, thereby compromising the integrity of the assessment. Test administrators should check students prior to testing to ensure that, if they are wearing a watch, it does not have any smartwatch or internet capabilities. They must continuously monitor the students in the testing room to ensure smartwatches are not worn or used during the test, even if a student does not use it.

SMARTGLASSES

Students may not have a smartglasses in their possession during testing, including breaks, even if they do not use it. The use of smartglasses during testing has become a growing concern due to their ability to take pictures and record test content. While some are easily identifiable, others are not easily distinguishable from regular glasses. Smartglasses pose a threat to test integrity by enabling a discreet communication, access to information, AI use, and photographing the exam. Students with prescription smart glasses will need to remove them or test on another day with standard glasses. It is vital that test administrators and proctors constantly monitor students during the test to ensure they do not access or use prohibited electronic or recording devices at any time during the test session.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

As technology is advancing, it is essential to address the new challenges posed by AI during assessments. With smartphones, smartwatches, and smartglasses, students have easy access to programs that can not only assist with answering test questions, but can also analyze prompts and writing responses. When a student is using these AI programs, they are not formulating their own answers or writing responses, which can lead to academic dishonesty. It is vital that test administrators and proctors actively monitor students during the test to ensure they do not access nor use prohibited electronic or recording devices at any time during the test session, including breaks, even if they do not use them.
