Set Up Guide

Firstly, set up your Exam as normal:

  • Click on Exams

  • Click + Create Exam

  • Enter your Exam details and click Create Exam

  • Click Specify exam dates, enter the date of your exam and save

  • Click Pre-select Item Set then select and/or approve the Item Set for your exam. Save and Lock Changes to this stage of the Exam set up

Setup Time is the amount of time before an Exam begins for all the required activities to be completed by the candidates and Proctors. These activities could include ID checks, desk space checks, device checks, dealing with any issues, etc. Though Setup time is initially set up in Exam Details, this can be overridden on a per session basis in Session Management.

When using a Proctored Service a Start Time must be defined. A warning message will display and you will not be able to proceed without entering this information. The 'Show Me' link will direct you to where information is missing.

  • Click Manage Sessions

  • Click Edit on the first Session to enter an Exam start time

It is in this Edit Session screen where individual Session Setup times can be input. Enter a Setup time [minutes] and Last start time as desired here and click Save. If not used then the Setup Time input in the Exam Details screen will be used.

  • Click Save and go back to the Exam Setup

  • Click Lock Changes on the Candidates window, a pop-up will appear explaining that Practique will schedule candidates for Proctoring

  • Click Lock Changes to confirm

The Exam will now be able to be viewed in the ProctorExam interface as an Open Exam.

In the View Sessions screen for the Exam click View then View Proctoring. This screen gives an overview of the Candidates as seen in ProctorExam. When an action is performed in ProctorExam such as sending emails to candidates, the status for the Candidates will change in the Proctoring Overview Screen in Practique.

The Exam is now ready to be published to devices.
