Proctors and Hall Monitors

Thank you for joining the SAT Weekend staff.

Watch this webinar to learn more about accessing and using Test Day Toolkit. New changes for fall 2024 won’t be covered, but you’ll learn all the basics. To get started, sign in with your College Board professional account.

Also, learn what proctors and students experience during digital testing at Test Day Experience.

Roles and Responsibilities

Proctors are responsible for conducting a secure and valid administration and are accountable for everyone in the testing room and everything that takes place in that room.

Hall and room monitors support proctors in keeping the testing area free of noise and distractions and watching for suspicious behavior.

Technology monitors remain in the help room and use the Technical Troubleshooting Guide to help students and staff.

Staff will require a device with internet access to complete test day tasks using the College Board Test Day Toolkit web application.

The time commitment for proctors and monitors is 5–6 hours total, including 4–5 hours on test day, with a 7 a.m. start.

Staff Requirements

All staff should meet the following requirements:

• Not present a conflict of interest. Staff should not be working in the same room as a household member or immediate family ("related student") taking the assessment.
• Not be engaged in providing private SAT preparation conducted outside the auspices of their school for compensation.
• Review and agree to the Testing Staff Agreement which includes confidentiality provisions.
• Complete  College Board required training.
