In a nutshell, ‘proctoring an exam’ refers to monitoring and supervising a test-taker during an exam ensuring they adhere to the rules and regulations set by the exam administrator.

Proctors are responsible for verifying test-takers' identity, distributing and collecting exam materials, and ensuring that the exam is conducted in a controlled and secure environment. They may also monitor a test-takers behavior and their movements during the exam, in person or remotely, to ensure that they do not engage in any prohibited activities, such as using unauthorized materials or communicating with others during the exam. With online assessments pairing a proctoring solution allows proctors the ability to monitor students; from anywhere. Online proctors have a variety of tools to prevent unauthorized activity and capture suspicious behavior from a distance.
