The FLATS test is proctored in-person or online through Proctor 360. There are proctor restrictions at certain universities, so please double check with them before you select your proctor.
Online
You may use Proctor 360 to proctor your test from home. They charge a $20 fee. After you register for FLATS, you will receive instructions to register for Proctor 360. You must have access to a camera and microphone (laptops work great - but not Chromebooks). Review their current policies.
In-person
You may request a certified FLATS proctor to administer your test in-person. Some of them charge an extra fee of $5-25. You will pick from the list of proctors when you register, and you will contact that proctor to schedule your test. Review the list of proctors.
Proctors for the FLATS test are chosen after careful correspondence with the FLATS staff. Learn more about how to become a proctor.
