Proctoring settings control what AutoProctor monitors while a candidate takes a test. They live in the Proctoring section of a test’s Settings.

​
How to Configure Proctoring

1

Open the Proctoring Section

Go to your Tests page, click Settings next to the test, and choose Proctoring from the list of sections.
2

Turn Proctoring On

Turn on the switch at the top right of the Proctoring section.
3

Choose Your Settings and Save

Turn on the checks you need under What gets tracked, Enhanced proctoring and Who is informed. Each group is described below. Then click Save settings.
If the test sends results to a Google Sheet, saving with proctoring Off removes the Sheet link in the After the test section. Results are only sent to a Google Sheet for proctored tests.

​
What Gets Tracked

The Proctoring section switched on, with the options under What gets tracked

​
Customize the photo prompt

When Photo before test start is on, a Customize the photo prompt switch appears below it. Turn it on to replace the default “Look directly at the camera…” message with your own text, up to 200 characters. Use this to ask candidates to show their ID card in the photo, for example “Please show your face along with your student ID”.
Customize the photo prompt switched on under Photo before test start
Customize the photo prompt is an Elite feature. See Feature Comparison for plan details.

​
Enhanced Proctoring

Each enhanced option costs extra credits per attempt, on top of the 1 base credit of a proctored attempt. See Enhanced Proctoring for the full setup guide.
The card above the sections shows the total cost, for example 1 credit per attempt. It updates as you change the proctoring options, before you save.

​
Who Is Informed

Turning off Me, after the test also turns off Photos at random, Photo before test start and Customize the photo prompt. They stay locked until you turn Me, after the test back on, because these photos are stored on the cloud for you to review.
