Remote proctoring

Remote proctoring involves sitting your test under live supervision, using your own computer in a suitable location with internet connection. 

A short introduction to remote proctoring

Remote Proctoring is available to candidates located outside Australia or more than 1.5 hours from the Sydney CBD at no additional cost. Candidates who are located less than 1.5 hours from the Sydney CBD should select the test centre option (unless there are extenuating circumstances necessitating a remote proctored sitting).

If you wish to register for a remote proctored sitting, select ‘remote proctoring’ in the registration portal when completing your registration.

Test location and equipment

If you choose to register for a remote proctored sitting, it is important that you make sure you are able to sit in a suitable location.

Your test location must:

  • be a private, enclosed space where you will be uninterrupted. This should not be a public space such as school, university or a library, as these locations may have network firewalls which may prevent access to your test. Note the ProctorU equipment test may not detect the network firewalls.
  • be seated at a desk or table, preferably with your back to the main room entrance.
  • have a non-transparent background, walls and desk (you may be asked to cover any glass surfaces or reposition your desk).  

No other person (including dependent children or animals) is permitted in the test room.

You must have the following equipment:

  • have a desktop computer/laptop (with power cord) with only 1 monitor and the Guardian Browser and ACER test application installed. Tablets and phones are not supported.
  • have a webcam and microphone, either built-in to your device or externally connected. Headphones will not be permitted.
  • have a stable internet connection. Hotspots are not supported.

Note, work and school computers or laptops may prevent the installation or running of the software needed for remote proctoring. It is advised that you sit the test using a personal device connected to your home network.
