While we do expect the software to work well for most candidates, sometimes technical issues do arise. On this page you will find answers to help you resolve common issues, including what to do if your internet connection drops out, or if you experience other technical difficulties on the day.
If you have a question which isn’t answered here, please email [email protected].
The specification is detailed in the ProProctor IT specification guide.
After you’ve checked this, you should run the System Readiness Check on the device you plan on using, in the room where you will take your exam.
Aim to do these checks as soon as possible. The later you leave it; the less time you will have to resolve potential issues.
Personal laptops/desktop PCs are strongly recommended, as work computers may block the ProProctor software. If you need to use your work laptop, you must contact your IT department, and share the ProProctor IT requirements guide to ensure you have the right equipment and setup to sit your exam.
They should check that a corporate firewall (including VPN) should not prevent you from launching your exam. The System Readiness Check may not pick this up, which is why you must contact your IT department well in advance of the day of your exam.
No, you must use a Desktop PC or a Laptop.
No. You can only use one screen.
If you are using a Laptop, it must not be plugged into a docking station, nor connected to a second screen.
It is not crucial, but you should have a screen that you would be comfortable using to type up your answers.
There is a minimum screen resolution of 1024 X 768. You should be able to find this in your device settings, under “Display”.
Yes. You can use a wired, or wireless, external keyboard and mouse in your exam.
No, but you can use a headset. You cannot use earphones or headphones, even if they have a microphone.
This will be part of the check completed by the readiness agent before you are transferred to your remote invigilator. They will ask you things like showing your ears and turning out your pockets, to show you do not have any earpieces or mobile devices.
The headset cannot have bluetooth capability.
Take a look at this useful guide if you do not currently have Google Chrome and you need to download it.
No other browsers are supported, so you must have the latest version of Google Chrome on your device to sit the exam.
To launch the exam, you must open this link in Google Chrome: https://rpcandidate.prometric.com/
This is included in your exam start time email. You will receive this approximately two weeks before your exam.
If you need any technical assistance with launching your exam, you will need to engage with a representative via the Prometric Global Help Desk.
To begin chatting, click on the Contact Support icon at the top of the page:
Using the “LIVE PROCTOR” feature on the right of your screen, you can speak with or send a message to your remote invigilator (also called a Proctor) when you need help.
Nothing. ProProctor will lock down your device so that you can only see your exam for the duration.
It’s important you remember to shut down all other applications, such as Outlook, before you launch your exam, otherwise you might get background noises coming through from your device that can be distracting.
Though the ProProctor app is visible under application in Mac OS, it is not supposed to be double clicked from there.
To launch your exam, you must open this link in Google Chrome https://rpcandidate.prometric.com/ and click on "Launch exam" on the top of the page. The website will open the ProProctor application.
The stability of your internet connection may seem like something you have very little control over, but there are a couple of things you can do to help:
No. You will continue where you left off and the countdown timer will continue from when you re-enter your exam.
Yes. This is to ensure the validity of the testing process is maintained for all candidates. Don't worry, you will continue where you left off and the countdown timer will continue from when you re-enter your exam
Unfortunately, you will not be able to complete your exam.
If this happens, please email the Education team [email protected].
No. You need to use the Prometric Global Help Desk for any IT support issues.
We have contracted Prometric as a third party provider and any queries on the day must be addressed to them. We cannot assist with any technical queries on the day of your exam.
When the exam is over, you are welcome to email us any queries or feedback you may have.
No, you will be locked out from accessing any online resources, including search engines.
You can use the hard copies of the legislation, like you would in an exam centre.
