The disclosure provides systems and methods for maintaining integrity of documents and activities associated with examinations. The systems and methods store such activities and documents in a distributed blockchain such that integrity is maintained through transparency and redundancy of the records and activities. The systems monitor for any anomalies and notify appropriate individuals when an anomaly is detected, as well as maintaining a log of such anomalies.
