Exam Proctor/Security. My tasks include all of the following: Checking candidates in.

- Standard security checking of candidates before the enter the testing room. Emptying of pockets, rolling up sleeves/pant legs, and using a handheld metal detector to ensure they enter the testing room with only materials provided by me.

- Active proctoring. Proctor the room every 10 minutes, and proctor each individual camera every 10 minutes.

- Check-in process involves taking fingerprints, taking photos, having them sign (and making sure their signature matches their ID), and having them verify a piece of information. This 3 step process is done to ensure I'm checking in the correct candidate for the correct exam. NO room for mistakes.
