About Online Proctoring

Online Proctoring Is Now Available: Test Remotely, Including from Home!

The State Board of Education is pleased to announce the availability of online proctoring for the OAE program. Online proctoring allows you to take your assessment securely from your home, school, or business. With just a simple check-in process—involving ID verification, face-matching technology, and a live greeter—you can test without having to travel to a test center.

Online Proctoring Availability

The following select OAE assessments* are available for online proctoring, in addition to continuing to be available via computer-based testing at test centers.

Can I Test Remotely?

Many U.S.-based candidates are eligible for remote testing. Review the following steps to determine if online proctoring is right for you.

Step #1: Make Sure You Have the Right Equipment

You provide your own equipment for testing. You must have access to the following:

• Required—a desktop or a laptop; tablets and touch screens cannot be used for your assessment
• Required—a single monitor; extra monitors are not allowed; you need to remove them from the testing room, if possible, or unplug them
• Required if using an external monitor with a laptop—you must have an external mouse, keyboard, and webcam and the lid of your laptop must be closed
• Recommended—a personal computer rather than a work computer, which may have additional security that can interfere with your testing session

Step #2: Take the System Test

Take the system test before you register . This will determine if your equipment is eligible for online proctoring.

Step #3: Review the Policies and Guidelines

Review the testing policies and what to expect on the day of the assessment on this website. (Select your assessment to get started.) If you are able to comply with these policies and guidelines, you may register for online proctoring.
