Th Proctor Dashboard is a feature used by proctors to monitor student testing. The proctor does not start the test from the proctor dashboard. When instructed by the proctor, students initiate testing by opening TestNav on their devices and entering their credentials.

Above the Progress Bar: Assessment Information


Testing Information

This section includes the test name, administration, proctor group and testing school.

Config Information

This section includes:

  • Test Window - for the overall assessment (the test schedule for your school may be more narrow).
  • Proctor Name - This reflects the latest person to access the dashboard and may be changed.
  • Kiosk Only field – This indicates whether the ADAM Lockdown Browser must be installed on the students’ testing devices. For more information, see the Install and Setup ADAM Lockdown Browser page. This does not apply when students are testing in TestNav.
In the Actions area: 
Test Code 

Provide this code to students so they can sign in to the assessment. This code may already be on their test ticket if the proctor group were created ahead of time. You can select the expand arrows next to the code to view in full screen. Select the minimize arrows (on the expanded test code window) to return to the normal view.

Proctor Password

Other proctors can use the test code and proctor password to simultaneously access the Proctor Dashboard. Students should never have access to the proctor password.

Print Cards 

If printed test tickets are not already provided, select Print Cards to:

  • Print a roster and the test cards to distribute to students.
  • Open (in a second window) to view the test cards for this proctor group.

  • Not Started – The student has not signed in to the test. No action is needed by the proctor. Only applies if students were pre-assigned to the proctor group.
  • In Progress – The student has signed in to the test. No action is needed by the proctor.

  • Reseated – The student has been reseated.

The item progression shows which question the student is working on or on which item they exited the test from.

Accom (Accommodations)

The number of accommodations a student has appears in this column. You can hover your pointer over the count to see the assigned accommodations.

Code (Accountability Code)

In the Code column, you can view any accountability code applied to the student, such as "ME" for "medically excused." Some users may be able to select Apply to add an accountability code for a student (the ability to edit is rarely enabled on the dashboard). 

Actions Menu

After the assessment session has started, a set of buttons appears in the Actions column for each student. Your options will vary. Proctors use these actions to control individual student’s sessions.

  • Reseat Session – Proctors can select this if something interrupts a student's session. This might include a computer issue, session timeout, or an unexpected error. Reseating allows the student to re-enter their test.
  • View Session Detail – Displays overall test information, including both section information and item progress information. Item progress default view for linear tests is items by sequence and for CAT tests is items by last update timestamp. Users may sort on any of the columns in the item progress table to review data, as needed.


Sample Session Details window. Item progress is also available.
