Test Taker Instructions for Onsite Exams

Taking a certification exam can often be an exciting and yet anxious experience. At a Kryterion Testing Center, we want you to feel relaxed and as comfortable as possible. Below is an overview of what to expect as you advance through this process:

• During your certification registration process you are asked to select a Testing Center in your area as well as a date and time for your test session.

• Once your registration and scheduling is complete, you will receive an email confirming your scheduled test event including your Test Taker Authorization Code. If you need to make any changes to your scheduled test event, you should contact your Test Sponsor.

• When you arrive at the Testing Center for your test event, you are required to present to proctor your Test Taker Authorization Code you received in your registration confirmation email.

• You are required to bring two forms of identification with you to the Testing Center, which the proctor verifies and records. The proctor will provide you a document to read in the waiting area while the proctor loads your exam on the workstation in the testing room. This document prepares you for your test session.

• You will be asked to place all of your personal items, except your identification, in a locking file cabinet or compartment. Personal belongings includes bags, purses, keys, wallets, hats, briefcases, books, cell phones, calculators, portable electronic devices, watches and any type of firearms. We recommend leaving any item not needed for testing at home.

• Once your test has loaded, the proctor will escort you to the workstation in the testing room and you may then begin your test. The test engine provides you with detailed instructions on how to take the exam and walks you through each step of the process.

• When finished, you are prompted to notify the proctor that you have completed the test. The proctor will then complete check-out process.

• Each Test Sponsor determines when and how their Test Takers will receive their test results. Some Test Takers receive their results immediately after they submit the exam while at your testing center, others may receive their results via email or postal mail. Results will not be printed out by the Testing Center.

A proctored exam means that you must come to a physical location and take the test while being supervised by a proctor, someone who works with your online instructor and ensures that the right person takes the exam following the rules set by the instructor.  Different instructors have different rules.  You can expect that there will be a time limit to complete the exam.  You may or may not have access to paper, books, and calculators.  You will not be able to use your cellphone during the exam.  Children, friends, and family will not be allowed in the proctoring area with you.  You will need to bring a valid photo ID.

You must make an appointment to have a proctored exam.

To schedule a proctored exam, please contact Gena Goble at 606-326-2446 or Gena.Goble@kctcs.edu.

Testing Fee:

There will be a $25.00 (non-refundable) charge for non-KCTCS students to have their test proctored.

Payment Policy:

We accept cash and credit/debit cards.  We cannot accept checks for testing fees. 

Self-Pay: 

If you are responsible for your own proctoring fee, payments for testing must be made on or before the day of testing. 

Please visit the cashier window on campus and let them know you are paying for a proctored exam. 

Third Party Payment: 

If your college, employer or another organization plans to pay for your testing fee, there are two options available to you:

1. You may provide the test proctor at ACTC with an “intent-to-pay” letter (on official letterhead) from the organization. This letter must provide us with a billing address.
2. You may make arrangements to obtain the payment and bring it with you on the day of testing.

If neither of these options work for you, feel free to contact Gena Goble for other options. 

We return tests by secured email, mail or fax. If mailing is required, postage must be paid by the tester or the institution requiring the proctored exam.
