How do I take a test using ProctorTrack?

The use of ProctorTrack is not preferred and is made available only as a last resort to ensure students are still able to complete their coursework.

If this is your first time using ProctorTrack, please refer to this article for setup instructions.

1. If you haven't already, fill out the Proctored Exam Request form.

   1. Note: The email address you enter on this form is the address your ProctorTrack account will use. It does not need to be the same address you use to access Pathway but CBTS is not able to later change which address you use to access ProctorTrack without creating a new account for you.

2. If you are approved to use ProctorTrack, CBTS will assign the requested class to you. We will then send you an email stating your proctoring is ready.

   1. If you have set up ProctorTrack before, you will receive one registration email from ProctorTrack for each assessment in your class. You may simply delete these registration emails from ProctorTrack.
   2. If you HAVE  NOT used ProctorTrack before, please refer to this article for setup instructions.

3. Sign in to ProctorTrack at https://testing.verificient.com/login.

   1. Note: CBTS is located in the USA. If you are located in the EU, Canada, or Australia, ProctorTrack will suggest using a different link. Use the link provided here.

4. Once signed in, locate your test and select the "Go To Test" button.

   

5. Click the "Open ProctorTrack" button. ProctorTrack will open.
