Exam Proctors and Administrators

Objective test administration may best be assured by arranging for a proctor other than the student's instructor, reader, or interpreter. Having one's instructor administer the exam individually can be an intimidating experience for some students and could put the student at a disadvantage as compared to the relative anonymity of group administration of a test in large classes. Proctors who will administer exams adapted for various functional limitations may need: 

• orientation in ways to read aloud
• practice in, writing exactly what is dictated
• most importantly, a discussion of methods of maintaining integrity and ethics of the test situation
