About Online Proctoring
Online proctoring is now available: Test remotely, including from home!
Pearson is pleased to announce the availability of online proctoring for the Foundations of Reading Assessment. Online proctoring allows you to take your test securely from your home, school, or business. With just a simple check-in process—involving ID verification, face-matching technology, and a live greeter—you can test without having to travel to a test center.
Can I Test Remotely?
Many U.S.-based candidates are eligible for remote testing. Review the following steps to determine if online proctoring is right for you.
Step #1: Make Sure You Have the Right Equipment
You provide your own equipment for testing. You must have access to the following:
- Required—a desktop or a laptop; tablets and touch screens cannot be used for your exam
- Required—a single monitor; extra monitors are not allowed; you need to remove them from the testing room, if possible, or unplug them
- Required if using an external monitor with a laptop—you must have an external mouse, keyboard, and webcam and the lid of your laptop must be closed
- Recommended—a personal computer rather than a work computer, which may have additional security that can interfere with your testing session
