How to Use Proctor Tools – Caveon Test Security

About Proctor Tools

Scorpion’s proctor tools are a powerful way to manage an exam remotely or in person. The tools include the ability to pause and resume a test, as well as suspend a test so that a new launch token must be obtained. The remote proctor tools also include an event log that includes both events and warnings.

In exam proctor tools

During an exam where the proctor is physically present, a test may have proctor tools available on the exam screen. The tools are password protected. This scenario is typical of a workshop or other low stakes testing environment.

Remote proctor tools

When the proctor is not physically present, a secured proctor tools panel can be accesses from SEI. The tools can only be accessed through the use of a secure token and the tools are linked specifically to one test taker at a time. When using the remote tools, the proctor will receive time stamped live events from the test takers perspective. These are in addition to the pause, resume and suspend actions.
