ExamOS
Comprehensive OS-level solution for safer examination.
Stable. Universal. Comprehensive.
ExamOS is a Linux-based operating system that provides broader cheating prevention than browser-level solutions. Secure Exam is included as part of the package. Boots from USB, over the network (PXE), or installs alongside your existing OS.
Why an OS-level solution?
Broader prevention
OS-level control blocks unauthorised actions more deeply than browser-level solutions — from boot to exam completion.
Broad compatibility
Linux runs on virtually any x86 and ARM computer — older machines need no extra drivers.
Fast boot
A minimal Linux environment loads in seconds — even older hardware does not delay the exam schedule.
Auditable code
Open-source Linux kernel — institutions can inspect and verify system behaviour.
What is included in ExamOS?
Secure Exam included
ExamOS comes with Secure Exam built in — kiosk mode, URL whitelist, and cheating prevention out of the box.
Linux OS foundation
Compatible with virtually any computer — x86, x64, and ARM. Linux drivers provide broad hardware support.
Flexible deployment
Boot from a USB drive, over the network (PXE), or install alongside an existing OS — choose the option that fits your institution.
OS-level isolation
No background processes, no access to local disks. The exam runs in a fully isolated OS environment.
Centralised management
All exam workstations managed from a single admin console — configuration, monitoring, updates.
Accessibility (WCAG)
Designed with full WCAG 2.1 accessibility — all students, including those with special needs.
