Test proctoring is available for free at area libraries. Appointments must be scheduled at least a week in advance. 

Guidelines for Proctoring Appointments

• Proctoring is by  appointment only. Appointments must be made a calendar week in advance.
• We can proctor school exams as well as simple certification exams that do not require expertise (real estate exams, appraisal exams, even some medical certification exams).
• We cannot install specialized software on the library's public computers. You must use your own equipment for exams that require specific software.
• You must bring current government or school ID to confirm your identity prior to your test.

How Proctoring Works

Request an Appointment

Proctors can provide one to two (1-2) hour exams, with three (3) hour exams available upon request. Depending on the proctoring location, the proctor may or may not be physically in the same room during the exam. If you have specific needs for your test, please contact the library branch to verify how proctoring works at that location. 

1. Fill out our scheduling form. Appointments must be scheduled at least a week in advance.
2. Once your appointment is confirmed NPL staff will reserve a room for the exam, if needed.
