Test Day
In-person Testing
On the day of your exam, you should plan to arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment. Once you arrive, you will be asked to provide a printed copy of your admission ticket and two forms of valid identification, one of which must contain your photo.
You will also be asked to store all personal items, such as your cell phone, wallet, and keys, in a secure locker before entering the testing area.
Once the check-in process is complete and you are fully approved for testing, you will be led to the testing station and given a brief tutorial on the testing system.
Remote Testing
To take the exam remotely, you must use a laptop or desktop computer that has the ETS Secure Test Browser downloaded and installed on it. This is the browser you must use to take the exam. You will also need a functioning webcam, speakers, and a microphone.
When you check in to take the exam, the remote proctor will ask you to show proof of identification and to move your webcam around the room so that your testing area can be observed. Once the proctor has approved your testing area, they will walk you through the testing process and begin your exam.
