You'll have 15 minutes after your scheduled start time to begin your check in or your test will be canceled and you won’t be refunded.
• Click the button to begin your session and follow the directions.

• The proctor will ask you to:
  • show your ears and wrists, and remove any jewelry.
  • muestre la pantalla de su computadora usando un espejo portátil o un teléfono celular.
  • move the camera on your computer to show a 360-degree view of the room, including your tabletop surface and the space below, and any other places in the room the proctor may wish to inspect.
• The proctor will ensure the ETS Secure Browser is downloaded and launched.
• Immediately before beginning your test, you’ll walk through one more Equipment Check with the proctor, who will attempt to assist in troubleshooting any issues.

To ensure your test day goes well, follow the procedures listed in the Bulletin, including the important rules below. If you don’t follow these rules, your test scores can be canceled, and your registration fee will not be refunded.

• No se comunique con nadie, excepto con el supervisor.
• Don't use any unauthorized materials, including personal recording devices, mobile devices, smartwatches, prewritten notes or textbooks at any time during the test.
• Certain behaviors will invalidate your test and can result in score cancelation. Avoid the following behaviors:
  • Talking out loud to yourself
  • Looking away from the screen 
  • Moving out of view of the camera  
  • Taking a break
• Disable any screen-sharing or remote-access software (such as Zoom^®, Skype^®, TeamViewer^®, Microsoft Teams^®, Anydesk^® and Apple Remote Desktop™) prior to the test. These must remain disabled throughout the test. Make absolutely sure that the software won’t open automatically during the test.
• You will see instructions about headset checks. Ignore those references, since headsets are not used or allowed when testing at home.
• ETS monitorea la reutilización de dispositivos y lugares de examen con fines no autorizados. La reutilización frecuente e inapropiada de los dispositivos de examen compartidos y de los lugares de examen comunes puede dar lugar a una demora y/o a la anulación de las calificaciones y podría afectar su elegibilidad para realizar futuros exámenes de ETS.
• Submit the exam, review your results if they are made available to you, and then close the ETS Secure Browser.
• At the end of the test session, the proctor will ask you to erase the whiteboard or transparency sleeve and hold it up to the camera, showing the front and back.
• Once disconnected from the proctor, you may be asked to participate in a brief survey.

• During the test, the proctor will monitor you (via your webcam and your computer screen) to ensure you follow all testing procedures.
• Asegúrese de que el supervisor pueda verlo siempre a través de la cámara.
• If you need to contact the proctor during your test, speak to get their attention and/or click the chat icon to open the chat box. El supervisor puede tardar entre 30 y 60 segundos en responder.
• If the proctor is attempting to chat with you, there will be an audio signal from the chat function.
