Use the Proctor Dashboard
The Proctor Dashboard is a feature used by proctors to monitor student testing. The proctor does not start the test from the proctor dashboard. When instructed by the proctor, students initiate testing by opening ADAM or TestNav (as applicable) on their devices, and entering their credentials.
When proctoring an ADAM test delivered to students using TestNav, most proctor dashboard elements are the same as when delivering a test to students using ADAM Player.

The administration name is indicated at the top of the page. Hover over the Information icon to view test details.
- Test Window for the overall assessment (the test schedule for your school may be more narrow).
- Proctor Name: This reflects the latest person to access the dashboard and may be changed.
- Kiosk Only field. This indicates whether the ADAM Lockdown Browser must be installed on the students’ testing devices. For more information, see the Install and Setup ADAM Lockdown Browser page. This does not apply when students are testing in TestNav.
In the top right are options to:

Below the header:
- If printed test tickets are not already provided, select Print Cards to:
- Print a roster and the test cards to distribute to students.
- Open (in a second window) to view the test cards for this proctor group.
- If applicable, a link to Seal Codes. Do not provide seal code to student until you are ready for them to 'unlock' the corresponding section. See also: Seal Codes.
- If applicable for TestNav deliveries, a Read Aloud icon displays (see below for details).
- Test Code: Provide this code to students so they can sign in to the assessment. This code may already be on their test ticket if the proctor group were created ahead of time. You can select the expand arrows next to the code to view in full screen. Select the minimize arrows (on the expanded test code window) to return to the normal view.
Read Aloud
A Read Aloud link appears if at least one student in the group is tagged with any of the following accommodations (name labels may vary on your site):
- Read Aloud / Human Reader
- Read Aloud with Language > English
- Read Aloud with Language > Spanish
- Human Signer > Complete Test
- Human Signer > Test Directions
Click the link to view a pop-up screen with access instructions for the person who will perform the Read Aloud.
- For tests delivered by AD Authoring instead of TestNav, access to ReadAloud is provided per student via the Actions menu, see also: Actions Menu.
- If a test has multiple applicable forms configured, those forms will show up as an option for the proctor to select after logging in to TestNav with the READALOUD credentials.
