Proctoring Best Practices is a new publication being developed jointly by the National College Testing Association and the Security Committee of the Association of Test Publishers during a year-long collaboration. This document is intended to identify best proctoring practices in paper-based, computer-based, and online proctored testing contexts and should serve as a guide for test sponsors and/or publishers in drafting their test administration policies or as they evaluate and audit vendor organizations providing proctoring services. In establishing best practices, the contributors gave primary consideration to those practices that promoted the security of the test, maintained standardization, and ensured the fair and respectful treatment of all test takers.

In this session, the presenters will discuss the collaboration and will provide an overview of the proctor's role in preparing the testing facility, admitting the test taker, proctoring during the examination, concluding the examination, and completing examination responsibilities. Presenters will discuss the proctor's responsibilities during each phase of the testing process, including how they may differ across the various testing channels.
