Secure testing using a smartphone

Method for taking a test using a smartphone including placing the smartphone into connection with a device, placing the device on a head of a person with the smartphone in a position in which a display of the smartphone is visible to the person, coupling the smartphone to the device and displaying test questions on the display. Cheating is detected by, for example, monitoring presence of the device on the head of the person by periodically obtaining biometric data from the person and analyzing a change in the biometric data relative to previously obtained biometric data for the person, and when a change is present, stopping display of the test questions and generating and transmitting a communication to a test-providing institution derived from the change in biometric data.
