  Google Forms can be used to create quizzes for students in a classroom. But, it doesn’t have a  timer  so that students get a fixed time to submit the test. Also, the tests cannot be monitored to ensure that the user doesn’t  cheat  on the test. AutoProctor  solves both these problems.  With AutoProctor, the test taker will see a countdown  timer  on opening the Google Form. After the countdown ends, the user cannot access the form. Apart from a test duration, you can also set a Start Time and End Time for the test. Users cannot access the test before the Start Time, or after the End Time. AutoProctor features User Authentication: As the system is AI-enabled, it will be easier for the Proctor to recognize the movements on the screen and the changing of the tabs as well. The candidate needs to make sure that the camera can see his/her face; if not detected, the online exam couldn’t be loaded for them.  If the candidate is away from the camera, it gets recorded and will be marked as a
