2. Proctors Create a Proctoring Event

Within 24 hours prior to proctoring an Anywhere Proctored
event, proctors must create an Event in the Proctoring
application within the Pearson VUE Navigator portal. Events
use an Event Code that allow proctors to unlock Anywhere
Proctored candidate exams remotely.
All the steps in this section are performed by the proctor.
1. Proctor opens an Internet Browser and opens Pearson VUE
Navigator portal.
https://navigator.pearsonvue.com/Navigator/authenticate/login

2. Proctor enters Username and Password and clicks Log in.

3. Proctor enters an Event name in the Create event section.

• Give the event a meaningful name, such as the name of
the exam or the name of the conference so that it is
easier to locate and remember your event. If there are
a lot of proctors for the client, proctors should add their
Note
name to the event title.
• Event names can be a max of 50 characters.

• Event names can be duplicated because each event
is given an event date and time stamp that makes it
unique.
4. Proctor clicks Start event.
6  ITS Anywhere Proctored User Guide Property of Pearson VUE
Contents
The event details page is displayed. The event is assigned
an event date and time, and a unique event code.
The candidate roster is empty until a candidate enters
the event code during the admissions process.

• Event codes are used to unlock Anywhere Proctored
candidate exams. Candidates enter the event code within
the admissions process allowing proctors to unlock exams
from a single, centralized location.
• Event codes remain active for 24 hours.
• It is the proctor’s responsibility to communicate
the event code to the candidate at the event. It is up to
Note the proctor to determine how best to communicate
the code to the candidates. Possible options:
Write the event code on a white board
o
Print out the event code on a slip of paper and hand it
o
to the candidate as they enter the exam delivery room
• As a best practice, the event code should not be given
to the candidate prior to the event, especially if candidates
pre-register for the exams. If this were done, the event
code could be shared with other candidates not attending
the event.
Property of Pearson VUE ITS Anywhere Proctored User Guide  7
• If an event code is compromised in any way, proctors may
generate a new event code. When a new event code
is generated, the previous event code expires. Candidates
may no longer be admitted with an expired event code.
The event is now ready to unlock candidate exams.
5. Proctor clicks the Return to Events list button
at the top of the Events Details page.
The events dashboard is displayed. The newly created event
is listed at the bottom of the page in the Events list. If you
have created more than one event, the events are listed
in most recently created to the oldest event created order.

3. Candidate Admissions

The admissions process consists of the following basic
procedures: proctors set up an event within the Pearson VUE
Navigator portal Proctoring application prior to the event,
proctors communicate the event code to the candidates at
the event, candidates register for an exam and enter the event
code, and proctors admit the candidates by unlocking the exam
via the Proctoring application. Candidates may then complete
the exam. Once the exam is completed, the candidate may open
the score report on the candidate website at
https://home.pearsonvue.com/test-taker.aspx.
Two applications are used to administer Anywhere Proctored
exams: the Proctoring application within the Pearson VUE
Navigator portal, and the Anywhere Proctored client landing
page where candidates register for and launch the exam.

The candidate journey begins on the client landing page
http://pearsonvue.com/<clientname>/ap/. There are two links
on the client landing page, one that pertains to exam proctors,
and one that pertains to candidates that will be taking an
Anywhere Proctored exam.

Exam Proctor instructions
Prior to a testing event, proctors should be familiar with
the minimum technical specifications for delivering an Anywhere
Proctored exam. Make sure candidates have created their web
accounts before beginning the testing process. Prior to a testing
event, proctors should run a Test Simulation. If candidates will
take the test on client supplied computers, run a System Check
on each exam delivery workstation. Make sure your event does
not fall within the Pearson VUE outage window.
