Administer exams
Reminder: The person administering the exam must be associated with your center as a Proctor. More information about associations and roles.
Registering as a user: All test candidates must register an account with Certiport. Each person will only ever need one login/username. If you are unsure whether you have previously registered, contact support or a Certiport Solution Provider.
Installation of the exam delivery system(s): Each computer used for testing should be set up and configured prior to exam delivery. Determine which delivery method you will be using.
Prior to a scheduled testing event you should check for available updates to the exam delivery method(s) and then test your computer for readiness:
- Refer to the install and setup guides for each delivery system/solution by clicking here.
- Review the Top 10 checklist for additional pre-exam tips.
The following is only an outline. All exams must be delivered adhering to the items detailed in the exam administration policies.
- The Proctor validates the candidate’s identity by checking a government-issued picture identification card, and removes all prohibited items before administering any exam.
- Each Test Candidate double-clicks the applicable desktop icon on the testing computer to begin the exam. The candidate:
- enters his/her username and logs in
- chooses the program, suite and individual exam to be taken
- select whether or not a voucher will be used
- Select whether or not you will be using an Exam Group. Using exam groups provides additional reporting functionality.
- The proctor then verifies all the information is correct and enters his/her username to launch the exam.
- The proctor observes the candidate(s) throughout the duration of the exam using the appropriate observation methods.
If you have technical problems while delivering exams, contact support or a Certiport Solution Partner.
