Rules and Requirements

Test takers are responsible for making sure that the proctoring software works with their equipment. You are required to:

• Have a computer or laptop with a webcam, microphone, and speakers that are installed and working correctly. A built-in camera, microphone, and speaker in a laptop will work just fine. Charge your laptop before and during the test.
• Check whether your equipment and software meet all ProctorU requirements.
• Do a Test-It-Out equipment check and make sure everything works properly.
• Have a high-speed and stable internet connection. Wireless internet (Wi-Fi) is allowed but discouraged. The mobile hotspot use is not allowed.
• Close all third-party programs and unplug any secondary monitors.
• You must take your test in full-screen mode to ensure full functionality.
• Please memorize your OMPT login details, as you will need them to start your test.

• A government-issued photo ID such as a National ID, passport, resident permit, or driving license (Latin alphabet only).
• Maximum of 3 scratch papers and 3 pencils & rubber eraser.
• A reflective device, such as a mirror or a mobile phone (pre-test procedure).

• Room setup: You must be alone in a quiet, closed, and well-lit room. The door must be visible behind you in the webcam view. Glass doors, windows, or walls should be fully covered.
• Testing surface: Sit at a hard-surfaced desk or table with no extra chairs or unauthorized materials nearby. Your desk must be completely clear, except for permitted items.
• Camera Position and Visibility: Your webcam must clearly show your face, hands, scrap paper, and mouse use at all times. Your laptop angle should allow visibility of your note-taking area.
• Technology Use: Your camera, microphone, and speakers must remain on and fully functional throughout the exam.
• Prohibited Items: Headphones, watches are not allowed. These must be removed and kept out of reach during the test.
• Allowed Materials: You may only use 3 A4 sheets of scrap paper, 3 pencils, 1 eraser, and the online OMPT calculator. Pens are not permitted.
• Breaks: Toilet or other breaks are not allowed during the test. Unapproved interruptions may lead to test termination.
• Food and Drink: No food is allowed. Drinks must be in a clear, transparent bottle.
• Phone Placement: Your phone must be behind you, within the webcam view, and out of reach for the entire session.
• Behavior: You must not speak aloud, receive unauthorized assistance, or intentionally disconnect. All actions should comply with OMPT and ProctorU regulations.
• Integrity and Fraud Policy: Any behavior intended to dishonestly improve results is strictly forbidden. OMPT reserves the right to terminate, invalidate tests and bar test takers from future attempts if there is suspicion of fraud.

• The test can be scheduled at any date/time. You are required to schedule it at least 72 hours in advance.
• You have the option to cancel or reschedule your test appointment; however, a 50 EUR admin fee will apply. You can find more information here.
• Please log in to OMPT and follow ‘Go to ProctorU’ button in your ‘Exam info & access’ class around 15 minutes before your test appointment.
• The pre-test procedure such as showing your proctor your ID, verifying your identity, and securing your testing space does not count toward your test time. The timer does not start until the test itself has been opened via start button. If you experienced significant time loss after clicking the start button, please contact OMPT support.
• You will receive your results via email within 8 business days from the day after test submission. With fast grading, results are sent within 4 business days.
  Grading time excludes weekends and Dutch public holidays.
• It is the test taker’s responsibility to be aware of their university’s deadlines and to plan accordingly. Please ensure you allow sufficient time for the full grading period, as well as for any potential preparation, technical issues, or the need for an additional attempt if required. OMPT cannot guarantee results or availability at short notice, so careful planning is essential to meet your academic deadlines. 

ProctorU will only check for fraudulent behavior and does not have any knowledge about the test itself.

In cases of any violation of the test rules, ProctorU may or may not intervene. They will, however, flag and report any incidents to the OMPT Examination Board.
