Open Quizzes: links, guests & proctoring
Publishing a quiz to a public link for candidates outside the institution, with optional on-device proctoring.
What an Open Quiz is
A quiz reachable without an account. Used for entrance tests, practice sets and recruitment screening — anyone with the link can attempt it. Results land in the same quiz group as enrolled attempts, tagged as guest, so you compare like with like.
Creating and publishing

Authored in the same builder as any other quiz; questions can be imported from CSV.

Timing, navigation, whether identity is captured, and whether proctoring is on.

Each link carries an expiry.
Link expiry
Every public attempt link must now carry an expiry date. Links created before that release keep working until 2026-09-30. If you have published a link anywhere outside LEAP — a prospectus, an email campaign, a website — re-issue it before that date.
Guest identity
A guest supplies identifying details before starting. One attempt is bound to one session, so a candidate cannot restart to improve a score. Guests hold no account and can reach nothing else in the platform.
Proctoring
Two families of signal share one timeline: advisory camera and microphone flags, and lockdown integrity events.
Advisory — camera and microphone
Runs entirely on the candidate’s device. Face and voice signals are turned into abstract flag events in the browser; frames and audio never leave the device. Only the events are sent.
Brief dips do not flag. A signal has to persist past its threshold, and repeat flags of the same type are debounced, so a blink or a cough does not fill the timeline.
Lockdown — integrity events
Tab switches, leaving full-screen and window focus loss. Unlike the advisory family, these do drive the client-side warn-then-auto-submit behaviour.
A flag is an observation, not a verdict. Read the timeline alongside the attempt — a candidate sitting near a window, or one who looked down at scratch paper, generates flags without cheating.
Privacy and retention
Where captures are stored at all, they are encrypted with a per-institution key and purged on the retention schedule. Candidates are told proctoring is active before the attempt begins — the pre-check screen requests camera and microphone permission explicitly.
