The Wichita Public Library offers test proctoring to homeschooled and online high school students, secondary/postsecondary students, and professionals taking licensing tests. For tests being taken electronically, the tester needs to have a Wichita Public Library card in good standing.

There is a $15 test proctor fee that is due at the time of the proctored exam. All exams must be taken during Library hours Monday-Saturday. All test proctoring appointments will take place at the Advanced Learning Library location.

Scheduling

Appointments scheduling is subject to availability. Please submit requests for test proctoring appointments at least 5 days in advance of the test to allow time for test proctors to receive testing information from your school/institution. To request an appointment with a test proctor, call (316) 261-8500, email , or fill out our online form.

Student/Test Taker Responsibilities

Students/test takers are responsible for:

• Scheduling a testing time with the Library
• Contacting their institution with the test proctor's contact information where test instructions/information should be sent
• Ensuring that the Library has received all testing materials/information at least 24 hours before the scheduled exam
• Confirming their appointment is scheduled at least 24 hours before the test date
• Bringing a current photo ID and all required testing materials (pen, calculator, paper, etc.) the day of the test
• Paying the $15 proctoring fee the day of the exam, prior to the testing time
• If taking an electronic exam, ensuring that they have an active Wichita Public Library card in good standing prior to their scheduled testing time
• Notifying their test proctor if they are unable to make their appointment, or will be running late (for missed appointments, the test taker is responsible for contacting the Library to reschedule their test)

Library computers cannot be modified nor can special software be installed/used; if your institution requires special software for a test, you will have to bring your own device with the requested software to take the test (if permitted by the institution), or we can refer you to alternate testing facilities.
