Hall and Room Monitor

Hall and room monitors assist with test administration duties. Monitors don't administer the test, but they'll have access to Test Day Toolkit to help report irregularities and help proctors as needed. They can be a current professional or a member of administrative, secretarial, or clerical staff.

Responsibilities include:

  • Help set up the school for testing.
  • Direct students to their assigned rooms, restrooms, or the help room.
  • Answer students' questions.
  • Monitor the testing room, hallways, and restrooms for student rule violations, such as using prohibited devices, talking during breaks, or sharing information.
  • Ensure students in the school who aren’t participating in testing don't interrupt or distract testing rooms and students during their breaks.
  • Assist proctors, as needed.
  • Serve as liaison between testing rooms, the technology monitor, and the test coordinator.
  • Submit irregularities in Test Day Toolkit, if needed.

Some differences in responsibilities include:

Hall Monitors

  • Keep the testing area free of noise and distractions
  • Watch for suspicious behavior
  • Direct students to break area, restroom, or help room and monitor their breaks
  • Help students, proctors, and other staff

Room Monitors

  • Keep the testing room free of distractions
  • Watch for raised hands in the testing room and look out for prohibited behavior
  • Admit students returning from break
  • May need to help dismiss students after testing
