Pre-Test Checklist

1

Have candidates complete a demo test

Share the demo test link for your test type with candidates at least 24 hours before the actual exam. The demo helps candidates understand the platform, grant the required browser permissions, and confirm their device meets technical requirements.Demo links for each test type:
The demo test does not consume test credits from your account. Candidates can take it as many times as they need.
2

Verify your account has sufficient credits

Ensure your account has enough test attempts available before the exam. If candidates try to load a test and your account has no credits, they cannot proceed.See Payments and Credits to check your balance and purchase more if needed.The card at the bottom of the left sidebar shows how many credits you have remaining. Click it, or open Usage, to see where your credits went.
3

Configure test timing with buffer

Set a Late-start grace period so candidates have extra minutes after the Cannot start after time to set up their device. You find it under More options in the Timer section.See Timer Settings for configuration details.
4

Test the link yourself

Before sharing the test link, click it yourself to verify the candidate experience. Confirm that the instructions page, camera check, and proctoring setup all load correctly.
How you share the test link matters. Some distribution methods cause compatibility issues.
If candidates receive test links through messaging apps (such as Telegram, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger), advise them to copy the link and open it directly in Chrome or Firefox. In-app browsers lack the features AutoProctor needs for proctoring.
Send the demo link at least 24 hours before the actual test. Send the real test link closer to the scheduled time to prevent early access.

During the Test

  • Be available: Remain accessible via a communication channel (such as Google Meet, Zoom, or WhatsApp) during the test window so candidates can reach you if they encounter technical issues.
