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:
- Go to Test Management > Administrations.
- In the appropriate admin card, click View under Proctor Groups.
