What should my testing environment look like before taking a proctored exam?
Preparing for Your Online Honorlock Proctored Exam
Step 1: Prepare Your Device & Testing Environment
Choose a quiet, well-lit room with no distractions.
Remove any unauthorized materials (notes, books, extra devices).
Please double-check all Exam Expectation and Technology Requirements located in your Exam Module.
Ensure Laptop or Computer is plugged in or fully charged.
Ensure your webcam, microphone, and internet are working properly with Honorlock downloaded and enabled.
Step 2: Start the Room Scan
Follow the on-screen prompts to begin.
Slowly rotate your webcam or laptop to show:
Your desk
The floor
The surrounding area
If using an external webcam or laptop, pick it up to scan your space.
Step 3: Avoid Common Issues
Move slowly to prevent a blurry scan.
Show the entire workspace, including the desk, walls, and floor.
If your scan is rejected, follow the feedback provided and try again. A Honorlock Support team member may pop-in to check to initiate the exam
Important Reminders:
Well-Lit Environment: Ensure your testing area is well-lit so your webcam feed is clear throughout the exam duration.
Stable Internet Connection: Check your internet connection for stability to avoid any interruptions.
Quiet and Secure Setting: Confirm that your surroundings are quiet and disruptions-free. Just to remind you, background noise should be minimal.
Webcam Placement: Your face must remain visible in the webcam view at all times.
Stay on the Exam Screen: Please only navigate away from or close the exam window once you have fully completed your test.
Step 4: Complete the Honorlock Online System Check
Once accepted, you may proceed with your exam.
