I graduated from WGU and I wouldn't have known how to cheat on the many proctored tests. The only special software I installed was Zoom. I had to have a detached USB camera and show myself and my testing area, and then during the test the camera was to my side showing both myself and the laptop screen.

I'm sure it's possible, but that seems just as secure as a random highschool teacher, which was the only anti-cheat of decades past.

my favorite cheating on a test scene ever is from Spies Like Us:

I wonder when they changed that. I was there around 2014, and back then you either had to install their anti cheat software, or go to a local testing/proctor center.
