ExamGhost for Google Forms is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension engineered for Google Forms Quizzes (docs.google.com/forms/d/e/*/viewform) and Google Classroom assessments. Double-click any div[role="listitem"] question card one by one to highlight verified answers in place, or press Alt+S to scan pasted equation screenshots and data charts without ever leaving the form tab.
Double-clicking Question 1 on Google Forms triggers an inline solve, selects the verified option, and opens the Right-Side Answer Banner.
Built for docs.google.com/forms cards, image math, and Quilgo timers.
Google Forms Quiz Architecture
Because Google Forms has no built-in LaTeX equation editor, math, physics, and chemistry teachers paste screenshot images (lh3.googleusercontent.com) into almost every STEM question—and sometimes wrap forms inside timed tracking links like Quilgo or ExtendedForms. ExamGhost handles both text cards and pasted equation screenshots in place.
When a Google Form question has no selectable text because the teacher uploaded a screenshot of an equation, graph, or circuit, simply press Alt+S and drag over the Google Form card. ExamGhost OCRs the image and highlights or explains the correct option immediately.
While a standalone Google Form cannot track tab switching by itself, teachers often embed Google Forms inside timer wrappers like Quilgo, ExtendedForms, or Form Presenter that log window.blur and visibilitychange. ExamGhost solves questions without ever leaving the active tab.
Google Forms uses custom Closure Library ARIA elements (div[role="radio"], div[role="checkbox"], and div[role="listbox"]) instead of standard HTML inputs. ExamGhost maps directly to Google's .Qr7Oae containers on every double-click.

GOOGLE FORMS FAQ & TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Fact-checked engineering answers about whether Google Forms can detect tab switching, Chrome extensions, Locked Mode, or Quilgo timers.
docs.google.com/forms/.../viewform) opened in Chrome has no built-in tab-switching or focus tracker—Google only records your final submission timestamp. However, if your instructor shares the form through a timer add-on like Quilgo, ExtendedForms, or AutoProctor, that wrapper iframe actively logs window.blur and visibilitychange. Using ExamGhost keeps your focus inside the active tab 100% of the time so even timer wrappers record zero focus losses..Qr7Oae). In Stealth Mode (Alt+2), the correct radio button or checkbox label is subtly highlighted; in Invisible Mode (Alt+1), a tiny 1px dot appears beside the verified answer.
