Anti‑Cheating and Fair Assessment in Typing Tests

You can discourage cheating without intrusive proctoring. Combine keystroke logs, tab‑switch warnings, and realistic prompts to ensure results reflect real skills.

Low‑friction protections

• Unique links and expiry windows
• Keystroke capture (errors, timing, corrections)
• Disable paste; warn on tab switches

Fairness principles

Avoid webcam monitoring; provide accessible fonts and clear instructions; allow retakes where appropriate. Document criteria and share expectations up front.
