CASPer Exam Webcam Question

[Anonymouse321]

So, I will be taking the CASPer tomorrow. I was telling my mom about the exam and mentioned that it is a requirement to leave your webcam on the entire time the exam is taking place. I am curious if anyone here knows what they do with the video that is recorded? I thought it is just to check if anyone is cheating, but my mom told me that I should get dressed up and look very nice because I should try to leave a good impression on whoever reviews the videos and that it may affect my test score. I don't even know what to make of this..... I was just going to wake up and take it in bed dressed casually.

I never even considered dressing up for CASPer omg, what a thought. Though I have no idea how the video is used (or even how the test is scored for that matter).

It’s to make sure you aren’t cheating. You can do it in your underoos if you want.

It’s to make sure you aren’t cheating. You have to upload a selfie prior to the exam, so they will compare the selfie to your webcam to make sure it’s the same person taking the exam. Also they can see how you react to stress. I believe the microphone is on too.
