Finding & removing leaked test questions

9. Protect test questions from being leaked on the internet

Sites like Reddit, Quora, Chegg, and Quizlet make it quick and easy for students to find and share test content. It’s frustrating for instructors and it can hurt the reputation of the program and institution.

The good news is that there are options to protect your content. Some are slow and tedious, but others are quick and effective. Which of the options below sounds the best?

Option 1: Copying and pasting individual test questions into a search engine and reviewing thousands of the results.

Option 2: Manually selecting each test question the software searches for and then sending individual takedown requests.

Option 3: Automatically searching for all of your test questions in a few minutes with advanced software and then sending takedown requests with a single click.

Unless you like wasting time on tedious tasks, you’d probably choose Option 3.

You need a quick and effective way to identify leaked test content and take action to remove it. With Honorlock’s Search & Destroy technology, you can do just that.

Here’s how Search & Destroy works:

Scours the internet automatically

Search & Destroy is triggered as soon as Honorlock is enabled for an exam. Automatically searches the internet for all of your test questions in a few minutes.

Instructors review the results

Instructors receive an easy-to-read report that shows which questions have been leaked and where.

Take action to remove leaked content

Instructors can send takedown requests with a single click, and they’ll know which test questions need to be updated.

“Having that quick ability to make sure that when you’ve uploaded an exam, none of those questions have been compromised is important to the teaching and learning process.”

Naz Erenguc, Director of Admissions at the Warrington College of Business, University of Florida
