Abstract

A system and method for remote test administration are disclosed. The system includes a testing station having a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory configured to store processor executable instructions configured to acquire biometric information related to a user, wherein the user is substantially adjacent to the testing station; identify at least one biometric vector within the acquired biometric information; and communicate the identified biometric vector. The system further includes a monitoring station configured to receive the biometric vector communicated by the testing station, the monitoring station having a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory configured to store processor executable instructions configured to: compare the received biometric vector to a stored biometric vector and determine a recognition weight; group the biometric vector into one or more polling clusters based on the recognition weight and one or more recognition thresholds; and monitor the user at the testing station based on feature vectors associated with the one or more polling clusters.
