Can We Trust Online English Tests?

Synap founder Dr James Gupta argues that online English language testing can be delivered securely when implemented properly, even while acknowledging genuine concerns about cheating incentives in high-stakes migration contexts. He points to biometric and behavioural technology, controlled test environments and hybrid models that matured after COVID as reasons remote assessment is now viable. The central point is that security depends on enforcing the right standards rather than on whether testing happens online, aligning with Synap's positioning in secure assessment.
