Acceptable note-taking materials, such as a whiteboard or plastic transparency sheet

On Test Day
Praxis Maaspoort
What should I wear during my test?
Your test session will be recorded, so dress comfortably and appropriately. Avoid wearing items such as tie clips, cuff links, ornate clips, combs, barrettes, headbands and other hair accessories.
What is the check-in process like?
This video offers a closer look at how to prepare your testing area, the check-in process and what you should expect during your at home test. The check-in process takes approximately 20 minutes.
Will I be monitored during my test session?
Yes. A human proctor during your entire test session. A human proctor will connect with you during the check-in process, verify your ID and monitor you throughout the entire session to ensure you are following testing procedures. The proctor assigned to monitor you could be male or female.
You will also be monitored by artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help ensure test security.
What if I need to contact or chat with the proctor?
If you need to contact or chat with the proctor during your test, you should speak to get their attention or use the LogMeIn chat function. It may take 30–60 seconds for the proctor to reply.
If the proctor is attempting to chat with you, the chat icon (a blue owl) will bounce up and down.
Will I have to submit a photo?
Your photo will be taken at the beginning of your at home test.
Will I be recorded during my test?
Yes, your entire test session will be recorded.
Are there breaks during the test?
Most tests don't include a break. However, you have the option to take a short, unscheduled restroom break if you're taking one of the following:
Praxis® Core Academic Skills for Educators combined test (5751 and 5752)
Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects test (5001)
Elementary Education: Three Subject Bundle—Mathematics, Social Studies and Science (5901)
Pennsylvania Grades 4–8 Core Assessment (5152)
Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching (7811)
If you choose to take a break, you must take it after the conclusion of one test, but before completing review of the General Directions for the next test. Your test clock won't start until you return and complete the General Directions.
See the policies associated with unscheduled breaks.
Will I be able to see my unofficial scores at the end of my test?
It depends on which test you take. Some Praxis tests offer you an opportunity to view unofficial scores. If an unofficial score isn't provided for your test, it means that further analysis must be conducted before scoring can be completed. This doesn't indicate a problem with the administration of your test and won't result in a score reporting delay.
Can I wear a headset or earphones during my test?
No. You must use internal or external computer speakers.
Troubleshooting Technical Issues
What if I fail the ProctorU Equipment Check?
You must resolve all issues (shown in red) and pass the equipment check before checking in for your test. If you can't resolve the issues yourself, contact ProctorU using the contact form at the bottom of the equipment check page. Live Help Desk technicians are available to assist you.
Note: You must resolve all issues before your test appointment, or you won't be able to test.
Is there anything I can do ahead of time to prevent issues?
Run the ProctorU Equipment Check at the time of day you plan to test to make sure you don't have any bandwidth issues.
Run a final equipment check shortly before your test session starts.
Close all browsers and applications not needed for the test. This can help prevent bandwidth issues while you test.
Make sure any other devices in your household that use the internet are not running.
For additional information and troubleshooting help, visit the ProctorU Test-taker Resource Page.
What if I have an issue right before my test starts?
If you have technical issues immediately before your test, contact ProctorU via the Live Chat feature in your ProctorU account or call ProctorU at 1-855-772-8678. Support is available 24/7.
What if I have a technical issue and my start time is extended?
This won't affect the amount of time you have to complete the test. The timer for your test doesn't begin until the proctor enters the password.
What if I have a technical issue during my test?
If you have a technical issue during your test that prohibits you from speaking to the proctor, notify the proctor via the LogMeIn chat function. The chat icon (a blue owl) can be found on the task bar for a PC and on the menu bar for Mac.
What if I lose internet during the test?
If you lose your internet connection momentarily, you'll automatically be reconnected to the proctor when your connection is restored. If your exam can be reopened, your proctor will do so for you.
If you can't reconnect and speak to the proctor via the LogMeIn chat function, call ProctorU at 1-855-772-8678 for assistance.
Scores
Is scoring the same?
Yes. Because this is still a Praxis test, the scoring criteria, scoring process and score scale are the same. Scores can be accepted and used in the same way as if you took the test at a test center. See details about Praxis scoring.
How and when do I get my scores?
You'll receive your official scores through your Praxis account. When you receive scores depends on which test you took. For more information, see After the Test.
How do I send my scores to an institution?
As with a test taken at a test center, you can send your scores to four agencies or institutions at no additional cost.
Please note: Automatic score reporting is not available in all states for at home testing. To see if your state offers it, see Automatic Reporting. If you want to make changes to your free score recipients, you may do so up until three days before your test date by logging in to your Praxis account.
