Just a teleprompter is already enough to cheat at these, even filmed. With a two-way mirror correctly placed, you can look directly into the camera and look perfectly normal while reading.

Next steps are bone conduction microphones, smart glasses, earrings...

And the weeding out of anyone both honest and with social anxiety.





My cohort was actively working with invisible realy-inside ear speakers.

I have been wondering if some of my students who demonstrated zero knowledge in class but ace in-class exams were doing something like this. I figured something like a hacked out google glasses would do the trick.

They probably just have huge pools of all your previous tests that they share and memorize.

No, that wouldn't explain why this has only occurred in the last ~2 years.

Make them wear school-provided inside-ear headphones to hear the exam.

Do you have anything you can share, like links to the product?

I did not use them, but saw them using wireless, pill shaped speakers they inserted into their ears they had to get out with a magnet.
