The Trust Score is a 0 to 100% rating shown at the top of every candidate report. It summarizes how likely it is that the candidate attempted the test fairly. As a rule of thumb, review the full proctoring evidence for any score below about 80%.
Every completed attempt on Equip receives a Trust Score. Instead of asking you to sift through photos, screenshots, and audio clips for every candidate, the score condenses all proctoring signals into a single number so you can focus your review where it matters.

​
How the Trust Score Is Calculated

Equip’s proctoring is powered by AutoProctor, and the Trust Score is computed automatically from the events recorded during the attempt. Violations detected by the active proctoring measures lower the score; a clean session keeps it high. The signals that can generate violations depend on which proctoring settings are enabled for each test. Typical examples include:
Candidates see exactly which proctoring measures are active before they start, and they consent to the proctoring report being shared with you. Measures you have disabled do not generate violations, so they cannot affect the score.
Each test in an assessment gets its own Trust Score, and per-test scores are included when you download results.

​
Reading the Score

A higher score means fewer and less serious violations were recorded. Use the score to triage candidates, not as a final verdict on its own.
A low score is a signal, not proof of cheating. Harmless events, such as background noise at home or an accidental tab switch, can register as violations. Always check the evidence before rejecting a candidate.

​
Acting on Low Scores

When a score falls below your comfort threshold, the candidate report gives you everything needed to make a fair call.
1

Open the candidate's report

From the Results page, open the candidate. The report has three tabs: Test Summary, Proctoring, and Session Recording.
2

Review the Proctoring tab

This tab lists every violation with a timestamp and its evidence: candidate photos, switched-tab screenshots, and audio flags. Check whether the events look deliberate or incidental.
3

Watch the Session Recording

If session recording was enabled, play back the candidate’s screen and actions to see exactly what happened. Playback controls let you speed up and skip inactive sections.
4

Decide with full context

Weigh the evidence against the candidate’s test performance. If the violations are benign, proceed as normal; if they clearly show unfair behavior, you can reject the candidate with confidence.
If many candidates score low on the same assessment, revisit its proctoring setup. For example, Detect Audio in a noisy environment or strict full-screen enforcement can produce frequent but harmless violations.
