How do we handle / prevent cheating on the exam? There are a few ways the CodeHS Team has developed to prevent cheating:

Honor Code: Students will sign an Honor Code before starting the exam.

Focus Mode: When students start the exam, they will not be able to navigate to another CodeHS page. Focus Mode will prevent students from going back to previous exercises, quizzes, and resources on CodeHS during the exam.&nbsp;

Randomly Generated Questions: Exam questions will be randomly generated from a bank of curated programming problems categorized by specific topics and concepts.

Time Limit: Students will have a limited time to complete the exam which must be done in one sitting.
