Are you working towards your career advancement or an educational goal at the moment? Hoping to gain accreditation or certification? You may be on the verge of preparing for an important exam to help you achieve your goals. There are several options out there for anyone considering taking an exam. Many educational institutes and certification boards will require you to set up a proctored exam with a supervisor or monitor present in some capacity to ensure academic integrity and professionalism. One of the first choices you will need to make is whether you are more comfortable with in-person testing or online proctoring. To help you weigh your options, here is a breakdown of the primary benefits of in-person exam proctoring through a professional exam centre.
So, what are some of the most important benefits of in-person proctoring?
So just what do these core benefits mean for you? Let us unpack this a little further.
Supervision and monitoring are synonymous with proctored exams, but an in-person exam scenario allows you to maintain strict boundaries around personal privacy within your home. You do not have to grant anyone video or microphone access into your home, because the exam takes place at a safe and secure testing centre.
Not everyone owns a webcam or decent microphone, which can be a hindrance to online proctoring services. With in-person exams at Ashton Testing Services, all of the equipment is provided for you. You can also rest assured that the computer stations are thoroughly cleaned, to maintain your safety at the centre.
It is also important to consider the noise factor during your exam. For anyone who lives in an apartment building or basement suite, you are probably used to hearing plenty of excess noise in your daily life. This can be especially frustrating if you are trying to focus on an exam. As an added bonus, there is no need to compartmentalize because your exam centre is a dedicated space for you to focus on doing the best that you can.
With data breaches on the rise, the safest bet is secure and professional exam proctoring services. By choosing a in-person exam instead of online proctoring, you can protect the privacy of your personal data and space. Ashton Testing Services stores only the most relevant data to your exam process, without requiring external computer access, which is a major safety and privacy concern for a lot of people.
Without a doubt, in-person proctoring offers you peace of mind and comfortability. You can also have confidence going into the experience because of enhanced cleaning procedures and safety protocols. Ashton Testing Services is dedicated to providing a professional and secure space for all of your exam needs.
