What is the role of the proctor during the exam?

• A. The proctor oversees the exam process and ensures compliance with guidelines.
• B. The proctor grades the exam and provides feedback.
• C. The proctor writes new questions during the exam.
• D. The proctor handles facility maintenance.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the proctor’s job is to oversee the exam process and ensure compliance with testing guidelines, keeping the testing environment secure and fair. In practice, this means supervising test-takers, enforcing rules about what materials are allowed, managing breaks and timing, verifying identities, and handling any irregularities or security concerns that come up during the exam. The proctor also helps maintain a quiet, controlled environment so no one has an unfair advantage.

They don’t grade the exam or provide feedback, they don’t write or modify questions during the test, and they don’t handle facility maintenance.
