Best Exam Software

Talview is an AI driven platform that combines remote proctoring, video interviewing, and hiring assessments for higher education institutions and corporate recruiters. Its proctoring layer, powered by an AI proctor called Alvy, uses face recognition, room scans, a secure browser, and behavior analytics across a seven layer framework to catch cheating during exams and interviews. Ivy, Talview's agentic AI interviewer, can run structured interviews with built in trust controls.

Talview verifies candidate identity through face, voice, and device recognition, and restricts access to unapproved websites during assessments through its secure browser. Pricing is not published; the company uses a unit based, custom quote model tied to candidate volume, with a typical minimum commitment of roughly 150 to 200 candidates and a free trial available on request.

Respondus LockDown Browser is a locked down browser that colleges and universities use to secure online exams delivered through a learning management system, preventing students from printing, copying, opening other applications, or using virtual machines and screen sharing during a test. It works with Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai, and Schoology. Respondus Monitor is an add on that records student webcam video during the exam.

Monitor's recordings go through an automated review that flags uncertain activity for instructor follow up, and can require ID checks and an environment scan before the exam starts. Institutions pay a flat first year fee of 4,950 dollars for Monitor, with tiered renewal pricing afterward, while individual students can buy a 12 month subscription for 15 dollars covering all courses at their school.

Jungle is an AI-powered study platform that turns existing course material into practice questions and flashcards. Users upload or link source content, including lecture slides, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, textbooks, notes, webpages, Google Drive files, or YouTube videos, and Jungle generates multiple-choice, free-response, and case-based questions from that material in any language. A built-in AI judge system scores generated questions for relevance and for how plausible the incorrect multiple-choice answers are, aiming to avoid the obviously wrong distractors common in simpler quiz generators. While studying, users can chat with the source document or video to ask follow-up questions, request personalized explanations and analogies for concepts they are stuck on, and use AI-generated image occlusion to turn diagrams into study prompts.

The platform includes spaced repetition review to resurface questions a learner is likely to forget, a progress-tracking system built around a tree that grows as students answer questions, and the ability to export finished card decks to Anki. Jungle is available through the web and through iOS and Android apps, and is aimed primarily at students, from undergraduates to those in professional programs such as pre-med and veterinary tracks, who want to convert existing course material into active recall practice rather than building flashcards by hand. A free plan allows a limited number of monthly generations with caps on document length and video length, while the paid Super Learner plan removes those limits for unlimited generations, unlimited document chats, and AI explanations on every question.
