Proctortrack Student Manual – CLEP Exam Guidelines
What is Proctortrack?
Proctortrack is the world’s first and most advanced remote proctoring software designed with student’s privacy in mind. Using a combination of AI and human review, Proctortrack is used to monitor test sessions and identify behavior that violates testing policy to ensure the integrity of test results.
How does it work?
Proctortrack records your exam, processes it, and sends the data for human review to ensure no misconduct. Then, it’s delivered to your instructor or institution official for final approval. AI won’t make decisions; a real person will.
Equipment
● Monitor: Multiple monitors or dual screens aren't permitted. Additional monitors must be removed from the test
area.
● Keyboard & Mouse: Must use only one keyboard and mouse during testing. A wireless keyboard or wireless mouse
isn't allowed.
● Speakers: Must use an internal or external speaker. Headsets or wireless earphones aren't allowed.
● Microphone: An internal or external microphone is required.
● Camera: Can use the computer's built-in camera or a separate webcam. The camera must be able to be moved to
show the proctor a 360-degree view of the room, including your tabletop surface, before the test.
● Note: If your camera can't be moved to provide a 360-degree view of the room, you'll need a handheld "mirror."
available to complete your room scan.

Before the Exam:

Verify your Email account and login to your Proctortrack account.

4. Complete the onboarding process, including ID, face and Room scan verification.
After completing the identity scans, Proctortrack will prompt you to connect your phone to the desktop application to take a room scan. Download the Proctortrack mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, then use the in-app scanner to scan the QR code displayed on your desktop. This will link your mobile device to your active test session.
Scan your room using your phone.
Follow the instructions on your phone and proceed to the Recording of two videos:
● 360° Room Scan (20 sec): Show the entire room—left, right, and behind you.
● Desk Setup Scan (10 sec): Show your desk, monitor (front and back), keyboard, and nearby area.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Onboarding Room Scan will NOT be reviewed or saved.
On test day, after submitting your room scan, the proctor will review it based on CLEP’s guidelines. If any unauthorized items or setup issues are found, the proctor will let you know via chat and ask you to rescan. The proctor cannot start the exam until your room meets CLEP requirements.
NOTE: Onboarding is a practice run only—there is no live connection with a proctor during this process.
