Proctor groups are generated automatically for administrations, but you also can manually create proctor groups that can be assigned to a school in or out of your org scope. Note that a class may have students being administered assessments in multiple proctor groups, but the student results will still be associated with their class. Administrations with a manually created proctor group will have a unique test code and proctor password.

See Create an Administration for more information on how proctor groups are managed in eligibility-based and class-based administrations.

You may want to manually create a proctor group when:

  • A class is divided into multiple proctor groups, each taking the assessment in several different locations within the school, or offsite.
  • Students with the "Extra Time" accommodation are taking the assessment in a separate room.
  • Students taking a make-up session are being proctored together at a later date.

To create a proctor group:

  1. Go to Test Management > Administrations.
  2. In the appropriate admin card, click View under Proctor Groups.
  3. Click the Create Proctor Group button.
  4. On the Proctor Group Config page, enter the Proctor Group Name and select a district and school.
  5. Click the plus symbol to add students. In the Add Students popup:
    • Search for students by name, accommodation, and school.
    • Click the plus icon to add a single student or click the Add # Students button to add all the students on the current page.
    • Click Close when done.
  6. TestNav Only: Optionally, select the Remote Proctoring checkbox to proctor the test remotely, such as at a different school. On the Proctor Groups page, a camera icon indicates are remote proctor group. The proctor can view students if they enable their camera, and students can click the Raise Hand icon to get help via chat.
  7. Click Submit to save the proctor group.

The proctor group you created will now appear with the original list of proctor groups. The proctor group will have a unique test code and proctor password.
