How remote proctoring works
Remote proctoring involves the candidate sitting the test under live supervision using their own computer in a suitable location with internet connectivity. You should watch Steps for Test-Takers to Get Started with ProctorU and Test-Taker Walkthrough to have an understanding of how remote proctoring works.
Remote proctoring for the test is provided by ProctorU (external site). Please note that ProctorU is based in the United States and by selecting to sit the test by remote proctoring you will be required to provide Personal Information to an overseas entity. Please refer to the privacy statement for further information about how your Personal Information will be collected, stored and used by ProctorU.
Remote proctoring is only available on the main LAT test day: Thursday 29 September 2022.
Technical readiness and requirements
Before you register to sit the test by remote proctoring, you will need to ensure that you have the required equipment that meets the ProctorU (the online proctor) minimum technical specifications (external site) required to conduct the test session. This includes a functioning web camera and microphone to connect with the remote proctor and a stable internet connection. You need to test your computer at your intended test venue to ensure that your equipment and venue can support you in sitting the test.
Whilst you can sit at any suitable location, you are advised not to sit the test at public locations such as schools, universities and libraries as the network firewall at these places will likely block your connection to ProctorU, which will prevent you from sitting the test.
Your test session will be delivered via a live connection to the online proctor. Remote proctoring also requires an online test application to be run on the computer that you intend to sit the test with. It is important that you download and install the application prior to proceeding with your test registration, as you will not be able to sit the test without having the application ready to use on your test day. Please use the links below to download the online test application:
For Mac OS X 10.10 or higher with Intel chip (most common)
For Mac OS X 10.10 or higher with Apple chip
If you are unable to install the application on your computer or if your equipment or venue does not meet the requirements for the test, you will not be able to sit the test via remote proctoring.
