Our 5 tips for taking ProctorU exams
1. Don’t forget to show your student card or government-issued ID – this is the step immediately after you are asked to take a photo in the Review+ exams.
2. Do not wear headphones, either wired or unwired. If you wish to block out background noise, use foam earplugs.
3. Sit directly in front of the camera so that your face is in full view. Both eyes must be visible to the camera, so make sure your webcam is positioned correctly.
4. If your computer has dual cameras, you must select the front-facing camera before logging into ProctorU.
5. If you experience technical difficulties that impact your progess in the exam, submit a special consideration application immediately after the exam is completed. Contact us for assistance.

Fun Fact
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Aboriginal flag, which was first raised in July 1971 at a land rights rally in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, Adelaide. Designed by artist Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from central Australia and a member of the Stolen Generations, the design has symbolic meaning: 'Black represents the Aboriginal people of Australia. Yellow circle represents the Sun, the giver of life and protector. Red represents the red earth, the red ochre used in ceremonies and Aboriginal peoples’ spiritual relation to the land'. |
