Use ProctorU Record+

1. Enable ProctorU at the program level in your program settings and enter the ProctorU Key and ProctorU Secret.

   If you disable ProctorU at the program level, ProctorU is disabled for any tests that required it. If you re-enable ProctorU, individual test settings are restored.

2. Set ProctorU as a requirement for specific tests in the test settings. You also can use ProctorU Record+ in conjunction with the Pearson LockDown Browser.
3. Ensure that your students install and activate the ProctorU Google Chrome extension .

   ProctorU guides you and your students through accessing and installing the extension.

4. Require students to take the proctored test using the Chrome browser on a desktop or laptop computer.

When you use program groups, member programs inherit ProctorU settings from the coordinator program. When you copy a program, the copied program retains the original program's ProctorU settings. When a test is copied or imported, its ProctorU requirement remains.

When you choose test settings, you can choose the resources available to students while they are taking a test using ProctorU Record+.

Contact your ProctorU representative for additional questions on these settings.

Sensitivity settings define how strictly ProctorU tracks a student's behavior while taking a test. Choose High to restrict all resources. If you select Low, Medium, or Custom, you can edit the default restrictions. The options under Custom and Permitted Resources change to show what is allowed at the level you select.

• Browser tabs: Select Restricted to prevents student from opening new browser tabs after they start the test. Select Allowed to let students open new tabs.
• Allow copy text and image: Select Enabled to raise a flag if students copy text or images while working on the test. Select Disabled to allow copying.
• Window sized allowed: Controls the size of the browser window when students take the test:
  • Full screen: Students can see only the test in the player and cannot access anything else on their computer, such as browser tabs, desktop icons, or other applications. After submitting the test, students can exit full-screen mode (for example, by pressing F11 on the keyboard).
  • Maximized: The browser window is maximized for the duration of the test so that students cannot access anything else on their on their computer, such as the desktop, browser tabs, or other applications. Students cannot resize the browser window until after they submit the test.
  • Re-sized: Students can resize their browser window as they do the test.
• Application lost focus: Select Restricted to prevent students from using outside programs and applications on their computer. Select Allowed to let students access other applications.

Permitted Resources are locked when you chose High as the Stakes Level. If you chose Low, Medium, or Custom, you can pick the resources available to students.

ProctorU Record+ lets students know what resources they can and cannot use before they start the test. Some of these restrictions — such as access to applications, websites, and browser tabs — are controlled by ProctorU, but the exclusion of resources such as handwritten notes or textbooks depends on student compliance with the rules.

When a students accesses a proctored test, ProctorU verifies that the student is using Chrome and has installed and enabled the extension. ProctorU then walks the student through the requirements checklist. Students must complete the checklist and agree to all conditions:

1. Make sure you are in a quiet, well-lit, private testing space. Select Continue.
2. Select the check box for "I agree that I understand the exam rules prior to starting my exam with ProctorU." You'll be given this prompt again at the end of the checklist. Select Continue.
3. Select Share to allow ProctorU access to your screen as you work through the test.
4. Select Continue to acknowledge that ProctorU checked your system and environment.
5. Center your face in the displayed oval, making sure it includes your face from chin to forehead. Select Take Photo.
6. Align your government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) within the displayed frame. Select Take Photo.
7. Review the displayed list of allowed/disallowed resources available as you do the test. Select the check box for "I agree that I understand the exam rules prior to starting my exam with ProctorU."
8. Stay seated, face your webcam, and remain quiet. Select Continue.

When the student completes this checklist, the test opens in the player so the student can work on it.

While working on a test, a student can click the ProctorU icon for live assistance on using ProctorU.

When ProctorU is enabled in individual student settings but turned off for a test, you must manually turn off ProctorU in the individual student settings when you do not overwrite all individual student settings for the test.
