Starting Your Remotely Proctored Exam

Accessing the Test

Step 1: Log In

Students will begin the remotely proctored exam by logging into their CLT student dashboard.  Make sure you are using the correct email/username when logging in. Check your instruction email for the email you used when registering.

Step 2: Locate the Test

You will see a box titled "Test Active: Take Your CLT" on the student dashboard. You will also see the test date listed.

If you are logged into an account and do not see the "Test Active" box, you might be logged into the wrong account. Check your emails regarding the test to see which account has your exam!

You can also see which email you are logged in with by looking under the "Welcome" on your dashboard. 

Step 3: Enter the Test Access Code

Select the "Enter Test Access Code" button within that box on the left of the screen. Note that the code is directly above this button. You will need to input it on the next page. You can also find the code in your email. (Only you, the student, should enter the Test Access Code on test day, as multiple test starts may jeopardize your ability to receive a score.)

After you finish showing your space, please watch the provided video when prompted. 

Step 13: Verify Recording Transmission

This is the last step before the exam. This ensures that your Wi-Fi connection is stable so that we can receive your video and test answers. If the transmission is taking longer than the specified time to load, we recommend testing the internet speed here and then contacting customer support. 

 

Once we confirm your pretest recording transmission, click the button to begin the test and the timer. As soon as you click the button, the timer will automatically begin counting down and you may begin reading the passage and answering questions. Note that the timer will not appear until 1 minute into the first section, but it will be counting down during that time.
