I would record a video in advance or failing that flunk out. This calls for absolute rebellion against the system

The videos tend to be random, in both operations requested and their order.

If you can generate convincing real-time fake video based on verbal commands like “ok, now show me behind the desk… now your left ear” you probably don’t need to pass an exam any more.

My rebellious streak would implore me to make the process as awkward for the proctor as possible. Get creative.

Not that it would really help anything.

Tests, like software interviews, are a poor way to determine an individual's ability in anything but synthetic tasks. They are cheap, though.
