⚠️ Important setup notes

To avoid delays or being unable to start your exam, please review the following:

• Remote access software is not permitted
  Applications such as TeamViewer, AnyDesk, GoToMyPC, and similar tools must be fully uninstalled before your session. Simply closing them is not sufficient.
• External monitors must be properly configured
  Only one monitor may be used during testing. If you use an external monitor with a laptop, it must be set to mirror your display.
• Mobile phone use during check-in
  You may be asked to use your phone or a mirror during setup to show your testing environment. Once check-in is complete, the proctor will instruct you to place your phone out of reach. Phones are not permitted during the exam.

Before you schedule

Before scheduling, review what to expect and how to prepare.

• Run ProctorU’s “Test-it-Out” system check
• Use a reliable computer and internet connection
• Prepare a quiet, private testing space
• Plan ahead—do not wait until your deadline
• Schedule at least 72 hours in advance to avoid premium processing fees charged by ProctorU
