My schedule is really busy. Can I take the test from home?
My schedule is really busy. Can I take the test from home?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Here are some considerations for the "At Home" testing option:
Below are a few reminders and resources we would like you to share with students planning to use the Praxis “At Home” Testing option:
● Not every test is offered all the time, so proctors/sessions may be limited when students are looking to schedule an at-home test.
● Computer firewalls and security applications can interfere with the test delivery software. If candidates experience this issue, they may need to disable or reconfigure their applications prior to the test.
● At home testing requires a functioning microphone. Students must use an internal or external microphone that isn't part of a headset to talk to and hear the proctor. Headsets or earphones aren't allowed.
● Students planning to test at home should thoroughly review the following resources prior to registering for an test:
o ETS Test At Home Requirements
o ProctorU Resource Page and Technical Requirements
**Remember to put Grace College down as a recipient of your scores.
