A proctor is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the administration of an exam to students--often in cases where one teacher cannot supervise the entire group. As a proctor, you can work at colleges, universities, high schools, vocational schools, and testing centers. The types of exams that you administer can vary greatly, from standardized written tests and performance exams to interviews and online quizzes. Other duties of this job include preparing the exam room, distributing test materials, following specific test rules and regulations, and collecting the completed tests.
