ProctorU is a live online proctoring service that allows you to take your exam from the comfort of your home by using a webcam and a reliable internet connection. ProctorU is available 24/7, however, you will need to schedule your proctoring session at least 72 hours in advance to avoid any on-demand scheduling fees and create a ProctorU account.

ProctorU also provides free live technical support to ensure you have the best testing situation possible. You will also be able to test your equipment, learn about what to expect during your proctoring session, and ask any questions you may have about the proctoring process with a ProctorU representative.

In order to use ProctorU, you will need to have a high-speed internet connection, a webcam (internal or external), a Windows or Mac operating system, and a government issued photo id. ProctorU recommends that you visit ProctorU.com/Testitout prior to your proctoring session to test your equipment. For additional technical services needed before your exam, you can click on the button that says “connect to a live person.”

Test takers must download the extension to connect up to their reservation. Please visit the Test Taker Resource Center and view the Test-Taker Experience Through ProctorU's Guided Launch Process video for more information.
