Two ways to test remotely
| ProProctor (Prometric) | ProctorU | |
|---|---|---|
| How you book | Your school’s link, then Prometric’s ProScheduler | Your school sets up the exam, then you schedule with ProctorU |
| On test day | Launch from rpcandidate.prometric.com with your confirmation number and last name | Log in to ProctorU and the proctor launches your exam |
| Who decides | Your school | Your school |
What you need
- A computer the remote system supports. Run the ProProctor readiness check before test day, and again just before your exam.
- A working webcam you can lift for a full room scan, plus a microphone and speakers
- Only one monitor
- A private room with covered windows and a closed door. No people or pets in the room.
- Earbuds aren’t allowed. Wired headphones only with approval before you book.
- VPN turned off, and other apps closed
Before you start
Turn your volume up first. On ProProctor, you can’t adjust it once the exam is running. Have your confirmation code and Evolve login written down.
If something goes wrong
It’s your job to make sure your device, internet and room meet the rules. Elsevier says exams not finished because you didn’t meet them don’t qualify for a free exam or a refund. If you leave the secure browser mid-exam, you may not get back in without the proctor’s help. Elsevier’s HESI testing emergency number is 1-844-960-4374.
Practicing online is different
Online practice tests, like ours, are just for study. They don’t count. The only HESI A2 score schools see comes from a proctored exam set up by a school.
