SparkExam. Proctoring is one piece of an exam. SparkExam gives you every piece, proctoring included.

**Why switch from Talview?**

One system, not three: No separate exam platform, marking tool and results system to stitch together. Fairer to candidates: Only on-device checks run during a sitting; AI only raises flags afterwards, and a person decides. Paper is first-class: Signed codes on every page, verified scans and AI marking.
