How To Cheat On WGU Exams

1. Unauthorized devices: Some students attempt to cheat on WGU© exams using smartphones, hidden earbuds and similar devices, to exchange answers or receive assistance from other students but this requires you to have a partner who knows the subject and quickly answer your questions or you will run out of time. Also, taking pictures of the screen is something ProctorU proctors watch for closely.
2. Hidden notes: Students wanting to cheat on WGU© exams try to create hidden physical copies of notes or use electronic devices, such as smartphones or smartwatches, to store and refer to information during the WGU© exam. This is a bad idea because looking up answers takes time.
3. Online search: Despite remote proctoring by ProctorU on WGU© exams, students may still attempt to search for answers online using a separate device or by using virtual machines that can bypass monitoring software. This might work but if the subject is tough you are likely to run out of time because of the extra delay in looking up answers.
4. Impersonation: With WGU© exams which are remotely proctored by ProctorU, there is a risk of students attempting to have someone else take the exam on their behalf, either by impersonating them or using forged identification. This is like something out of the T.V. Show “Suits” and requires way too much effort. Also the risk is substantial as the other person will be on video pretending to be you. Unless you have a twin who is very smart in the WGU© exam subject you need to pass this should be a hard pass.
5. Pre-exam sharing: Students may try to share WGU© exam questions with others who have not taken it yet, providing an unfair advantage. This works but WGU© exams are taken by working professionals and not typical students so it is unlikely someone will take the risk of snapping pictures of the screen just so they can help you pass.
6. Exploiting technology vulnerabilities: Some students may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the remote proctoring software used by WGU© to proctor exams. WGU© uses ProctorU which uses Zoom to proctor WGU© exams. Zoom based remote monitoring is trivially simple to bypass.
7. Screen sharing: Students wanting to cheat on WGU© exams typically find that screen-sharing applications coupled with an expert tutor in the subject is one of the best ways to cheat and pass WGU© exams. Why? Because when you are using a screen sharing application that ProctorU proctors do not look for this method offers the lowest latency (allowing the expert tutor to just select the answers for you and making sure you do not run out of time). Also this method is least likely to be detected by the proctors (unlike taking pictures of the screen with your phone).

As of July 2024 WGU© has made a substantial stride in thwarting cheating. They have changed proctoring platform from Examity to ProctorU with Guardian Browser. WGU© methods to thwart cheating on exams are 2 fold, first there's the Guardian Browser which runs on the computer and scans for running apps like Teamviewer, RustDesk, RemotePC, AnyDesk which makes it simple for the ProctorU proctor to now detect when students are cheating. The secondary component relied on WGU© is human proctors who watch students take WGU© exams. Contrary to popular believe WGU© does not use any AI based anit-cheating measures. WGU© does not track eyeballs. Because this is not practical to do at scale.

Yes, ProctorU and Examity are owned by the same company and often the proctors who claim to work for Examity are also the same ones who work for ProctorU (especially the ones in India). But the shift from Examity to ProctorU has grave implications for WGU students. Why? Because Examity did not use any custom proctoring software to ensure WGU students were not cheating. This allowed a proliferation of cheating by WGU students. Cheating providers based in Pakistan and India took advantage of the terrible lack of security on the part of Examity and used RemotePC to cheat on WGU exams on a scale that was truly astounding. But now that WGU is shifting from Examity which made it downright easy for cheating on WGU exams to ProctorU with Guardian Browser which makes it slightly more difficult to cheat on WGU exams a lot of WGU students will find their degrees are harder to get because cheating is now substantially more difficult with WGU exams.

All the sites that offered cheating on WGU with RemotePC will stop working. Why? Because Guardian Browser runs on the test takers computer and specifically scans for applications like RemotePC and other screen sharing software. This will make cheating on WGU which was trivially simple till now much more difficult. Cheating on WGU will require specialized software that can bypass Guardian Browser from ProctorU.

But in all honesty the simplest, easiest and most cost-effective way to pass your WGU© remotely proctored exam is to pay us to take your WGU© exam for you. We take between 100-200 proctored exams for our clients each week on average. The WGU© dedicated webcam exams are our bread and butter. We are exposed to the processes and procedures used by ProctorU everyday. We are one of the few providers you can safely engage to remotely connect to your computer and take your proctored exam for you. When you hire us we will connect to your computer and make sure it is good to go 24 hours after you sign up. Please do not schedule your WGU© exam before confirming a date and time with us. An hour before the exam again we will again connect to your computer and set up the software. Then you will launch the exam, complete the environment scan and your ID verification with the ProctorU proctor. Once the ProctorU proctor inputs the exam password we will take over and answer all the questions for you.

Yes! We have over 300 tutors in our network. We have conducted extreme vetting to make sure the tutors we hire are brilliant in their respective subjects. So whether you hire us to take a Stats WGU© exam, an IT/Cyber Security WGU© exam, Biology WGU© exam, or Engineering related WGU© exam the person who actually takes your exam (through the remote connecting into your computer) will be someone who is very smart in the subject. If we do not get you the grade we promise you will get a refund.

We have been doing this for over a decade and we like to think we are exceptionally good at vetting and hiring some of the smartest tutors around. There really is no substitute for having a subject expert remote connecting into your computer and taking the WGU© exam for you. Because this allows the questions to be answered fast and for you to not run out of time. Plus we have custom software that is undetectable by ProctorU proctors (which is used by WGU© to remotely proctor exams). We don’t use RemotePC, Google Remote Desktop, and we don’t ask clients to pull out their phones and take pictures of the screen during exams (which is highly risky and not a wise thing to do). When you pay us to pass a WGU© exam you are paying for efficiency, peace of mind and getting exactly what you need without having to worry or get stressed out failing on the exam or getting detected by ProctorU. We will get you the grade we promise!

Yes, WGU© tests are proctored by ProctorU. ProctorU is an online proctoring solution used by educational institutions like WGU© to ensure the integrity of online exams. It is a remote proctoring service that monitors and authenticates test-taker identities during online exams, like WGU© exams, and to prevent cheating.

When students take an online exam through ProctorU, the proctoring platform uses Zoom to take control of the test takers computer and look for unauthorized applications, also to monitor the student via the webcam, microphone and screen recording. The human proctors employed by ProctorU are trained to look for cheating, so if a test taker tries to use a phone during the exam the proctors will see it via the webcam and flag the test attempt.
