What can a proctor do?

When test-takers have been registered and the test has begun, the proctor can carry out the following actions:

• Authorize: authorize a test-taker or group of test-takers to start the session
• Pause: Pause a session (e.g. if there is an interruption)
• Report: Report an irregularity
• Terminate: Stop a session (e.g. if there is a power cut)
• History: Check the history of the session

Regularities which can be reported include the following categories:

• Environment issues (comfort, disturbances)
• Test-taker issues (behavior, complaints, illness, late or no show)
• Proctor or test center staff issues (compliance, error, late or no show) 
• Technical issues (computer failure, test launch or network problems)

More information on how to nominate a proctor, as well as how the proctor carries out the actions listed above, can be found in the On-site Proctoring chapter of the TAO User Guide.
