Test Proctoring

Services are free to Oak Park Public Library cardholders based on library staff member availability.

What do I need to do?

What are the guidelines to taking an exam at the library?

  • It is the student’s responsibility to verify that the proctoring conditions provided by the Oak Park Public Library meet any requirements of the school administering the test.
  • The student will be required to present a valid picture I.D. at the time of the exam.
  • Proctors will not monitor a student continuously during an exam but may check on the student periodically. The library does not guarantee that a quiet study room will be provided.
  • Public computers for online testing are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our public computer space. During busy hours, the student would have only limited privacy and quietness. Testing systems that require software to be downloaded onto library computers will not be permitted.
  • The Oak Park Public Library proctors online tests only, including tests completed online (often accessed with a password sent to the proctor and entered at the time of testing) and tests sent electronically to the proctor to be printed in the library, completed by the student, scanned, and emailed back to the school or institution.
  • The library will not receive or mail paper copies of exams or other materials.
  • The library will scan and email completed exams within 24 hours of the actual test to the email address provided by the school. Additional services such as faxing may incur an additional charge, which the student is responsible for.
