FAQs

Q: Does this replace the official CompTIA exam? No. The official A+ cert exam is delivered at a Pearson VUE testing center or via OnVUE. This setup is for instructor-led practice tests and internal readiness checks inside Canvas before students book the real exam.

Q: Can Canvas gradebook still auto-score the quiz? Yes. Neuroxa runs alongside the Canvas quiz engine — Canvas still grades, Neuroxa only watches and flags.

Q: What if a student doesn't have a webcam? Built-in laptop cameras work fine; there's a no-camera fallback mode that leans on browser lockdown and screen monitoring only, with a lower confidence score noted on the report.

Q: How long does LTI setup take for an instructor? One-time setup is about 10 minutes; every quiz after that is a single toggle.

Q: What happens when a violation is flagged? The instructor gets a timestamped clip and severity tag — they decide whether to invalidate the attempt.
