Tips

  • Sign-up for your session well in advance
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early for your scheduled session
  • Expect some set-up time. The session begins with an authentication process and setup time before the exam is launched. (The exam timer won’t start until the exam is started)
  • Use a fast and reliable internet connection. Hardwire directly to your modem, if possible.  Other users on your network can affect the speed of your connection.  We recommend a minimum 3Mbps upload/download speed which is higher than ProctorU’s published minimum speed.  Try Speedtest.net to determine your speed.
  • Have your workspace cleared, well lit and avoid backlit locations like sitting in front of a window.
  • Make sure you won’t be interrupted during the exam.
  • Have your ID ready to show the proctor.
  • Document technical problems by communicating with your instructor immediately (typically via email).  Provide screenshots, if you have them.
  • Know where to find ProctorU contact information in case of connection issues.  (It’s on this page)
