Remote proctoring is an assessment delivery service that utilizes an on-line proctor to confirm the identity of the test-taker, protect the security and integrity of the exam, and deliver the computer-based test to the candidate.
What is ProProctor?
ProProctor is Prometric’s remote proctoring assessment application
If I have already scheduled my exam to take the test at a traditional testing center but want to change to the remote setting, can I do so and how? Is there a change fee involved?
If you are registered in a test center and want to switch to ProProctor, please cancel your test center appointment first.
Then you will use your eligibility number from your Authorization to Test letter to schedule via ProProctor for a remotely proctored exam by picking your day and time
There is no additional fee involved
Are there any additional fees associated with remote testing?
No.
Is the remote test the same in content and length as the test administered at a traditional test center and will I receive the same VA-BC credential?
Yes, it is the same exam and credential. You will receive your results via email just as you do when testing in a test center.
Where do I physically take a remote test and what set up is involved?
How do you validate my identity in a remote proctoring situation?
Like a test site, you must present a valid, unexpired government-issued ID with signature and photo (such as driver’s license, state or government issued ID, or passport)
Technology is not my strong suit. Will I still be able to coordinate a remote test on my end? Do I need special equipment and technology to take the test remotely? If so, what is required?
Please refer to the User Guide for System Requirements
You will need a web camera that can be rotated to show a full view of all walls and surfaces in your testing area before the exam begins, as well as an enabled microphone. We strongly recommend completing the required system check in advance to ensure your device and setup meet all technical requirements.
Will remote testing be offered now going forward?
Yes, VACC is offering testing using both options: in test centers and a remote setting
