Academic Admissions
ENSURE INTEGRITY AND FAIRNESS IN ADMISSIONS EXAMS
Exams are valuable tools for assessing academic admissions candidates. Our goal at Caveon is to ensure the right people are getting the right opportunities and that no one is gaming the system for an unfair advantage. We help you to build and maintain public trust in your exams.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST THREATS TO THE VALIDITY OF YOUR ACADEMIC ADMISSIONS PROGRAM?
STOLEN CONTENT
Know Whether (And Where) Your Content Is Being Shared Online
Is your exam content being shared and discussed online or in social media forums? Our team of expert web monitors leverages both technology and human expertise to identify, prioritize, and monitor key locations where admission candidates may be sharing sensitive test information. We provide prioritized risk assessments and actionable recommendations to maintain the validity of your exams.
EXAM FRAUD
Isolate Fraudulent Exam Scores
It’s not enough to simply know that cheating is occurring. To mitigate the damage, we must isolate and treat the problem. Our Data Forensics and investigations experts can help you identify those individuals who have attempted to unfairly raise their scores. We then help you appropriately and defensibly interpret and act on those findings—from canceling a score to pursuing legal action.
PROXY TEST TAKERS
Identify and Prevent Proxies
Are proxy test takers (professionals-for-hire or AI bots) infiltrating your exam administrations and earning superior test scores on someone else’s behalf? Data Forensics results and investigative measures can help you pinpoint proxies and the candidates who employ them, halting proxy test takers in their tracks.
REPUTATION DAMAGE
Ensure Public Trust in Your Test Scores
When news breaks that an academic admissions test has been gamed, it erodes public trust in assessments as a tool for determining whether an individual deserves a real-world benefit from their score. This is unfair. Assessments are one of the most impactful and effective tools to assess an admissions pool but only if people cannot cheat and only if the public can trust those scores. Comprehensive security planning can restore and maintain validity in your scores and build public trust in the utility of admissions programs.
