It's definitely a problem, even on CollegeBoard's current platform. Normal AP exams/SATs require photo ID validation at the exam site, and are run by school admins who will notice if someone is out of place. I work as a tutor on Wyzant and have been asked to "tutor" during the exam as well as to just do CS Principles students' portfolio assignments. While some might argue my approach is too aggressive, I report every account that messages me asking to cheat to Wyzant as well as the appropriate organization. My goal is to make it simply not worth the attempt to cheat (obviously only if they explicitly ask; I don't report when it's a possible miscommunication). Just about all of them have had their accounts deactivated. If technology access could be assumed, I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask students to upload a picture of themselves with their photo ID, as well as some sort of validity check, like a unique code only provided to the device they're taking the exam on. Obviously, that can't be implemented because of equity issues. Ideally, a secured assessment would be done on something similar to Pearson Vue, ProctorU, or the multitude of other online proctoring services. Unfortunately, that's not an option due to both scale and technology access (not everyone has a compatible device, I'm sure many students are taking the exam on their phones).
