The ACBSP™ began offering written exams via a remote-proctored, computer-based testing platform November 2020. This means travel to an exam site is not necessary. You may take the exam in the privacy of your home!
Each exam candidate will need the following:
A computer with a web camera AND a smart phone with a camera
Download and install the lock down browser at https://weblock.fasttestweb.com/FastTest/browserlockdown/app#/weblock/download
The exam will be located at https://ascproctor.com
Here is the list of the requirements:
1. You must be in a location with a strong internet connection, as you will be streaming video. A hard-wired internet connection to your computer or laptop is the safest and most reliable connection to the internet and exam.
2. You must take the exam in a location with no corporate or institutional firewalls, as this could adversely affect your test-taking experience and proctoring. We encourage you to take your exam on a private network (e.g. at home).
3. Have your smartphone and charger or external battery, so that it can stream video for the entire duration of the exam. The smartphone must be set to silent. Your phone must have a camera and should be placed on a phone stand so the proctor will have a stable video view of both you and your desktop during the exam.
4. You must be using a computer on which you have the ability to install software (commonly called “admin rights”). WebLock must run on the computer to open and take the exam.
a. Close all applications running on your computer, especially those with communication or video functionality (e.g. Skype and Zoom), before you go to ascproctor.com.
b. Have the charger for your computer. The exam has two 2-hour segments with a break in-between.
c. Must have a computer that is windows-based or a MAC. Your computer MUST have a camera.
d. Take the exam in a room where no one else has access during your exam.
e. Your desk must be free of debris. You should have nothing more than your computer, cell phone, government-issued photo ID and your exam letter which provides your exam identifier number. You are also allowed a piece of scratch paper which must be destroyed prior to completing each session of the exam.
When you log in for the exam, you must show the proctor your valid photo ID and have access to your exam identifier number. You will receive the exam identifier number from the ACBSP™ national office. If you have not received it two-weeks prior to the exam, please contact the national office.
