What this pass recorded. The GRE's at-home testing model turned a standardised exam into a home surveillance session: remote proctoring requires camera and microphone access, a scan of the room the candidate is sitting in, and in many implementations behavioural monitoring of eye and body movement flagged as suspicious by software. Candidates cannot decline any of it and still sit the test, and the test is a gate to graduate education - which is coercion by structure rather than by any term in the agreement. ETS also holds score history tied to identity indefinitely. Nothing confirmed against ETS this pass; the consent architecture is the finding.
