Most proctoring software that records the student would trivially root out the cheating method you mentioned about reading aloud the questions to someone else. They usually record audio as well, and if the software detects significant microphone input, will flag the test.

Just mute your mic in hardware?

A lot of proctoring software will flag you for that as well. Then when the professor reviews the footage it will be obvious that you're talking to someone off screen.

Do they analyze the noise floor or something? I guess you'd have to defeat that with a noise gate.

Put your mic in another room then.
