University of Florida Student Testimonial

December 30, 2025

Madi Koukos, University of Florida graduate

“Honorlock was a lot less invasive and less glitchy. It felt way more seamless and creates an easier testing experience. It just lets you take your test without any interruptions.”

Madi Koukos, a University of Florida (UF) graduate, used several proctored testing platforms throughout her education and encountered similar issues that increased her test anxiety and created a poor test experience:

Clunky software that was difficult to use
Distractions and an invasive experience
Support wasn’t readily available when she needed it most

When Madi used Honorlock for the first time, she quickly realized that it wasn’t like the other online proctoring platforms she used before, “I’ve grown to like using Honorlock as a proctoring tool. We’ve really come to appreciate it now because it’s a lot less invasive than other proctoring platforms.”

Online proctoring technology doesn’t have to be invasive

“Honorlock was less invasive than other proctoring software. I didn’t have a live proctor hounding me before the test, which would heighten my anxiety… It just lets you take your test without any interruptions,” Madi said.

While many remote proctoring companies just aim to catch cheating, Honorlock does more. Honorlock is proof that preventing cheating and creating a better testing experience aren’t mutually exclusive efforts.

With Honorlock, students won’t be hounded by a remote proctor. In fact, a proctor will only intervene if absolutely necessary. That’s because the AI monitors exams and alerts a live proctor if it detects potential academic misconduct. The proctor can review the situation before deciding whether to intervene or not. Otherwise, students won’t be interrupted.

Now, Madi prefers remote testing over in-person, “Honorlock is my favorite proctoring platform… It allows me to perform my best and has definitely improved the online testing experience to the point where I now enjoy online exams more so than in-person ones.”

Easy-to-use online proctoring software means one less thing to worry about

Exams can cause anxiety, especially when different online learning and assessment technologies are used, like test proctoring software. Now, students are concerned about their performance and how to use the proctoring software. “Other online proctoring systems felt really invasive and super glitchy to the point where they would affect the performance of my computer. But fortunately, Honorlock never did anything like that, which I was really appreciative of,” Madi said.

While other systems performed poorly, Madi noted that Honorlock’s remote proctoring technology created a seamless experience for her, “Honorlock being way less glitchy has helped decrease my test anxiety. It just feels really easy and integrates with the online testing platform.”

Honorlock’s proctoring platform integrates directly with the LMS, which means that students don’t have to download bulky software, extra logins and passwords aren’t required, and the test experience is basically the same as what they’re already comfortable with.

To take a proctored exam with Honorlock, students simply:

Log into the LMS like they already do
Authenticate their identity
Launch the exam from the LMS

On-demand exams & live support offer flexibility & convenience

Like many other students, Madi had a busy schedule and needed the ability to take online exams at a time that worked for her. Honorlock gives students the flexibility to take remotely proctored exams and receive live support from a person every day at any time, 24/7/365.

“Honorlock definitely makes test taking a lot more flexible and convenient. I personally think that students enjoy the flexibility. I know I do. I don’t like having to take a test at a certain time and place when I can take it in the comfort of my own home.”

She also noted that getting support was just as easy as using Honorlock’s proctoring platform: “Honorlock support was super easy to contact. All I had to do was click the little chat bubble, and within five minutes I was on my way to retaking the exam.”

Honorlock’s value is clear

“I think it’s important for the University of Florida to uphold academic integrity because we’re a top-five institution and we value the caliber of education. And honest students will turn out good leaders, educators, and people of tomorrow.”

Whether colleges and universities serve 500 students or 50,000, exam proctoring affects each one in different ways. Pick a proctor company that protects academic integrity without compromising the testing experience.
