Why Honorlock Exams Feel Stressful
Honorlock combines automated monitoring with the possibility of live human intervention, which creates a different kind of pressure than either approach alone:
AI and a Human, Both Watching
Honorlock’s AI monitors in real time, and if it flags something, a live proctor can step in. That combination means you can’t fully relax into either “it’s just a recording” or “no one’s actually watching.”
A Chat Box Can Interrupt You Mid-Exam
If the AI flags your session, a proctor can message you while you’re mid-problem. That interruption breaks concentration and adds stress even when nothing is actually wrong.
Ordinary Behavior Gets Logged
Looking up to think, stretching, or talking through a problem under your breath are all normal test-taking behaviors that Honorlock’s system can flag the same as anything else.
Technical Issues Add Pressure
A failed room scan or a webcam glitch can eat 15 to 20 minutes of exam time before you’ve answered a single question, on top of everything else.
How Honorlock Works
Honorlock is a hybrid system: automated AI monitoring with the option for live human review layered on top. It uses several monitoring layers at once:
| Monitoring Layer | What It Captures |
|---|---|
| Screen Recording | Everything on your screen, with AI monitoring for browser switches, copy and paste, and unauthorized applications |
| Webcam Monitoring | Your face, eyes, head position, and environment, with AI tracking eye movement and detecting multiple faces |
| Audio Recording | All sound in your environment, with AI detecting voices and unusual noises |
| Secondary Device Detection | Phones, tablets, and other devices, using the “Search & Destroy” technology described below |
| Live Proctor Intervention | Real-time human review when the AI flags something. A proctor can message you or end the session. |
Unlike purely automated systems that only record for later review, Honorlock’s AI can trigger real-time proctor intervention during the exam itself.
Understanding “Search & Destroy” Technology
Honorlock’s most distinctive feature is its secondary device detection system, marketed as “Search & Destroy.” Here’s what it actually monitors:
What Search & Destroy monitors
- Phone signals: Detects cell phones in your testing environment.
- Web searches: Monitors for searches related to your exam questions on other devices connected to your network.
- Device patterns: Identifies unusual device activity during your exam window.
- Network activity: Can detect if other devices on your network access exam-related content.
This makes Honorlock more comprehensive than proctoring systems that only monitor your primary device. It’s worth knowing about ahead of time so the room scan and setup process don’t catch you off guard.
What Gets Flagged, and What Doesn’t
Honorlock’s AI flags behaviors constantly, and most flags never become anything more than a logged note. Here’s roughly how flag severity breaks down:
| Behavior | Flag Level | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Eyes leaving screen briefly | Low | Logged, rarely triggers intervention |
| Face leaving frame | Medium | May show a warning, logged for review |
| Multiple faces detected | High | Often triggers live proctor review |
| Voice or conversation detected | High | May trigger live proctor intervention |
| Phone detected | Critical | Flagged for instructor, may trigger immediate intervention |
The uncertainty of not knowing which flags actually matter is often more stressful than the flags themselves, which is exactly why understanding the system ahead of time helps.

Your Data and Privacy During Honorlock Exams
Students often don’t realize how much data Honorlock collects or how long it’s kept. Here’s a breakdown:
| Data Collected | What It Includes | Typical Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Video Recording | Full webcam recording of you and your environment | About 1 year, varies by institution |
| Audio Recording | All sound captured by your microphone | About 1 year, varies by institution |
| Screen Recording | Everything displayed on your screen during the exam | About 1 year, varies by institution |
| Biometric Data | Facial recognition data for identity verification | Varies by institution and jurisdiction |
| ID Information | Photo of your government-issued ID | Typically deleted after verification |
This data is stored by Honorlock and shared with your institution. Some states, including California and Illinois, have stronger privacy protections that may give you additional rights over this data. It’s worth understanding what you’re agreeing to before your exam starts.
Technical Requirements and Common Issues
Honorlock has strict technical requirements. Meeting them ahead of time saves exam-day stress:
| Requirement | Specifics | Common Issues |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | Google Chrome, latest version | Other browsers not supported, outdated Chrome fails |
| Extension | Honorlock Chrome extension required | Extension conflicts, permissions denied |
| Webcam | Functional webcam with clear image | Camera not detected, poor lighting fails room scan |
| Internet | Stable connection, 1.5+ Mbps recommended | Drops cause recording gaps |
| ID Verification | Government-issued photo ID | Glare, blur, or an expired ID fails verification |
| Room Scan | 360-degree environment scan before the exam | Incomplete scan requires restarting the process |
Technical setup issues can consume 15 to 20 minutes of exam time if you haven’t tested everything in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Honorlock record your screen?
Yes. Honorlock records your screen, webcam, and audio throughout the entire exam. The recording is analyzed by AI in real time and stored for potential review by your instructor. Honorlock also captures browser activity and can detect secondary devices in your environment.
Can Honorlock detect your phone?
Yes. Honorlock’s “Search & Destroy” technology can detect cell phones and secondary devices in your testing environment. It monitors for phone signals, detects if you’re searching for exam answers on another device, and flags this activity for review. This is one of Honorlock’s most distinctive monitoring features.
What does Honorlock flag as suspicious?
Honorlock flags eyes leaving the screen, a face leaving frame, multiple faces detected, audio anomalies like voices or background noise, browser focus changes, secondary device detection, and unusual head movements. Not all flags result in violations. Many are reviewed by live proctors or AI before any action is taken.
Can Honorlock see your room?
Yes. Before the exam begins, Honorlock requires a room scan where you show your entire testing environment using your webcam. During the exam, Honorlock continues monitoring your environment and can flag movement or people entering the frame.
Does Honorlock have live proctors?
Yes, Honorlock uses a hybrid model. AI monitors your exam in real time and flags suspicious behavior. If the AI detects something concerning, a live proctor can intervene during your exam through a pop-up chat. This live intervention capability sets Honorlock apart from purely automated systems like Proctorio.
What are common Honorlock technical issues?
Common issues include Chrome extension conflicts, webcam not detected, microphone permission errors, room scan failures, ID verification problems, and internet connectivity drops. These technical issues can cost valuable exam time, so it helps to test everything a day ahead.
