Apart from AI proctoring, Equip has four anti-cheating settings that make it harder for candidates to share answers or use outside help. In assessments they are set per test, separately from the proctoring settings panel. One-way AI interviews support only answer-choice shuffling.

​
What Each Setting Does

Candidates are told which measures are active before they start.

​
Defaults for Tests with Equip’s Content

If a test uses Equip’s content, the settings are applied automatically based on the test type. Questions are randomized, choices are shuffled, and copy/paste is disabled wherever the setting applies, and auto-submit on tab-switch is off. Video Response tests are the exception: none of the four settings is on.
You cannot change these defaults. They are locked to protect the shared question bank.

​
Configure Settings on Custom Tests

If a test uses your own content, all four settings are configurable per test.
1

Open the custom test

Edit your assessment and open the custom test you want to configure.
2

Adjust the anti-cheating options

Turn the settings on or off, and set the tab-switch limit for Auto-submit on Tab-switch. Then save the test and update the assessment.

​
In One-way AI Interviews

Only answer-choice shuffling is available in a one-way AI interview. It is set per question with the Randomize Options checkbox on each MCQ, on by default. The other three settings are not available. For tab switches, the interview settings offer proctoring toggles such as Detect Switched Tab instead.
Conversational interviews are built from topics, not MCQs, so none of these settings apply. The ATS has no tests.

​
How These Settings Work with Proctoring

There are two tab-switch controls. Detect Switched Tab (a proctoring setting) records every switch as a violation in the report, while Auto-submit on Tab-switch goes further and ends the test once the limit is crossed. Disabled copy/paste, Enforce Full Screen, and tab-switch detection together make on-device AI tools like ChatGPT impractical. Stealth overlay tools and AI on a second phone are caught by Auxiliary Device proctoring.
Every violation, whether from proctoring or tab switching, feeds into the candidate’s Trust Score.
