What Is the Türkiye Economics Olympiad (TEO)?
The Türkiye Economics Olympiad (TEO), is Türkiye’s official national selection platform for the International Economics Olympiad (IEO) 2026 . Organized by A Plus Academy, this prestigious competition puts high school students interested in economics and financial literacy through a multi-stage, fair, and transparent assessment process to select the national team that will represent Türkiye at the IEO.
TEO’s aim is not merely to select a team, but to build a sustainable culture of preparation that will permanently improve Türkiye’s performance in economics olympiads. More than 100 students from different cities across Türkiye—and even from abroad—take exams in areas such as economics, finance, and case analysis.

Security Issues in Online Exams: Challenges Faced by TEO
In a competition such as TEO, which determines international representation, online exam security is vital. When hundreds of students who do not know one another connect from different locations to take an exam at the same time, numerous security risks arise.
Challenges
Participation from different cities and countries • Standard video conferencing tools are inadequate for exam security • Risk of cheating with ChatGPT and AI tools • Use of a second screen, phone, or tablet • Identity fraud and the possibility of someone taking the exam on another person’s behalf • Physical methods of cheating that threaten equal opportunity
The QProctor Solution
Complete lockdown with the secure exam browser (QBrowser) • AI-powered, real-time behavioral analysis • 360° environment scan and identity verification • Cheating detection system with eye and head tracking • Uninterrupted security with offline mode • Detailed risk reporting
Why Isn’t Basic Proctoring Enough? What Sets QProctor Apart
Today, assigning a proctor to an online exam through Zoom or Google Meet is no longer enough. Students can ask ChatGPT questions on a second device, cheat from areas the camera cannot see, or even switch to other applications without sharing their screen. Standard browsers cannot prevent cheating attempts.
This is exactly where QProctor’s end-to-end secure exam system comes in. It is not just a webcam recording or screen sharing; it is a multi-layered security architecture that covers the entire process, from before the exam to after it.
QProctor’s secure exam system, provides end-to-end online exam security for educational institutions and organizations. Exams are 100% secure with proctoring technology and AI-powered cheating prevention modules. Even if the internet connection is lost, Offline Exam Mode encrypts the data and allows the exam to continue.
QBrowser: Much More Than an Exam Browser
QProctor’s customized secure exam browser, QBrowser, completely prevents candidates from accessing external resources during the exam. Forced full-screen mode prevents candidates from exiting the exam, second screens are detected and the exam is stopped, and copy-and-paste functions are disabled. The difference between an exam taken in a standard browser and one taken in QBrowser is like the difference between an unsecured parking lot and a garage equipped with cameras and alarms 24 hours a day.

360° Environment Analysis: Eliminating Blind Spots
QProctor’s 360-degree environment analysis system does more than simply monitor a face via webcam. Candidates use their smartphones as a second camera through the mobile app. This makes the desk, the area behind the screen, hands, and the rest of the room fully visible. The AI engine analyzes the footage from the second camera to instantly detect hidden phones, tablets, headsets, or other people in the room.
AI-Powered Behavioral Analysis
Throughout the exam, the candidate’s pupils and the angle of their face along the X, Y, and Z axes are calculated within milliseconds. When their gaze moves away from the screen for a specified period, the system flags it as suspicious behavior. At the same time, cross-verification with the second camera confirms where the candidate is looking.
Fraud and Liveness Detection
Attempts to take an exam on someone else’s behalf by showing a photograph or tablet screen to the camera are instantly blocked through QProctor’s depth and micro-expression analysis. The system looks for involuntary human signs such as blinking, breathing, and lip movements; if these are not detected, the exam is automatically blocked.
More than 20 intelligent parameters are used to generate data that is delivered to the institution after the exam in the form of risk scores, anomaly lists, and short video clips. TEO organizers accessed a detailed security report for each candidate with a single click.
Our modules, each of which forms a separate security layer, worked together during the TEO exams.
AI Proctoring
An advanced AI model detected suspicious behavior within milliseconds throughout the exam and provided real-time reporting.
Eye & Head Tracking
Head and eye movements were analyzed to instantly report behaviors such as looking away from the screen and using a second device.
QBrowser Secure Browser
Switching tabs, copy-and-paste, and opening external applications were completely blocked. The full-screen lock prevented candidates from exiting the exam.
360° Environment Analysis
A mobile device was used as a second camera to scan all blind spots in the room and detect hidden devices and people.
Identity & Liveness Verification
Identity was verified with facial recognition + 2FA. Liveness analysis prevented the use of photographs or fake faces.
Detailed Risk Reporting
Comprehensive reports containing a risk score, anomaly list, and video evidence clips for each candidate were provided to TEO organizers.
Defining TEO’s Security Requirements
Detailed meetings were held with TEO organizers to analyze the exam format, participant profiles, risk scenarios, and security expectations. A separate security policy was designed for each stage.
Infrastructure Setup & Configuration
The QBrowser secure browser, 360° camera module, identity verification system, and AI proctoring engine were integrated into TEO’s exam platform. All modules were tested and approved.
Student Orientation & Technical Support
More than 100 competitors were given instructions on installing QBrowser, positioning the second camera, and completing identity verification. The technical support team provided individual assistance to all candidates before the exam.
Live AI Proctoring & Multilayered Protection
Throughout the exam, AI monitored all candidates simultaneously. Every violation attempt, including using ChatGPT or a phone, switching tabs, and detecting a second person, was reported within milliseconds. The proctor panel enabled live intervention.
Comprehensive Security Report & Evidence
At the end of the exam, a detailed security report for each candidate (risk score, anomaly list, 15-second video evidence clips) was delivered to the TEO team. The entire process was completed successfully with zero security vulnerabilities.
It was a great responsibility and source of pride for us to ensure that the young economists who will shape Türkiye’s future could compete in a fair environment. At QProctor, we combine exam security with technology and give every competitor an equal chance.
