How do I isolate a VirtualBox VM?

Are virtual machines completely isolated?
10.2 Virtual Machines. A VM is an isolated environment with access to a subset of physical resources of the computer system. Each VM appears to be running on the bare hardware, giving the appearance of multiple instances of the same computer, though all are supported by a single physical system.
Can you be hacked through VM?
While isolating dangerous activity inside of a VM considerably reduces the chance of getting your regular computer system hacked, it doesn’t make it impossible. If your VM gets hacked, it’s feasible that the attacker could then escape your VM in order to run and alter programs freely on your host machine.
Can you cheat using virtual machine?
Cheating is as easy as loading up a virtual machine, and taking the test inside of it, while you do anything you want on the host machine. This means someone can remotely control the mouse and take the test while it appears from the Proctor’s perspective via the webcam that the student is the one taking the test.
How does VirtualBox guest OS work with guest OS?

Is it possible to completely isolate a VirtualBox machine?
At this point, a VM can be pretty thoroughly isolated, but some functions still have to go through the host more-or-less directly, with little hypervisor protection. Right off the bat, most non-KVM virtual machines (like VirtualBox) won’t share a kernel with the host OS.
A guest OS is an isolated OS that has access to neither the host nor the other machines in VirtualBox. However, the VirtualBox guest addition utility enables the guest machine to share files to and from the host OS.
