Proctored tests are timed assessments that you take with your computer’s desktop, webcam video, and audio being monitored by proctoring software. A proctoring service receives the data that the proctoring software recorded and reviews. Exams that are proctored may or may not be necessary for your course and enrollment path.

If your course requires you to take a proctored exam:

Proctored exams are not compatible with the edX mobile app.
When you take the proctored exam, you will need to install the proctoring software on your computer.
You will need to take a webcam photo of your face, your photo ID, and any further information the program requires to validate the exam setting at the beginning of the proctored exam in order to prove your identification.
You are required to abide by edX’s proctoring guidelines and standards during the exam. If there are any restrictions that differ for your course test, they will be posted in your course.
The proctoring software feeds the exam data to itself over the cloud while it keeps an eye on your computer and any open applications as you complete the test. Your webcam’s audio and video can also be recorded by the software.

The proctoring service reviews the exam session after you conclude it. After submitting the test, you should normally receive the results in 5 days. However, if there is a higher volume than usual or if the course staff has to grade your exam, the review process may take longer.

In order to qualify for course credit (if applicable), you need to pass the exam and get a satisfactory proctoring review result.

Proctoring Software: Proctortrack and Software Secure are the two third-party companies who provide proctoring services on edX. To find out which proctoring software is being used for the course, please carefully study your course materials. For all of its proctored tests, a course may only employ a single proctoring program. Please get in touch with edX Support or the administrators of your courses if you require assistance choosing proctoring software.

Requirements for Computer Systems
A functional webcam is a necessary, and we advise having 1GB of free space on your computer.

See the complete list of system requirements for the software used for secure proctoring.
