Test proctoring

We're glad to serve as a proctoring site for your professional or student examination. Contact us at help@dppl.org if you have questions or want to set up an exam. Here's what you need to know:

What does test proctoring cost?

Nothing! Our test proctoring service is free! And, you don't have to live in Des Plaines nor have a Des Plaines Public Library card.

Scheduling your exam

Test proctoring is available:

• By appointment
• No proctoring on Sunday

You must contact us at least one week before you need to take your exam.

Please note:  If you do not confirm your testing date and time, or do confirm and do not show up, we will decline proctoring services.

​How test proctoring works

For paper exams

We can book a private study room (with a door) on the fourth floor for you. Library staff does not stay in the room with you.

For online exams

You can use a library laptop computer in a private study room on the fourth floor. Again, library staff does not stay in the room with you. If permitted (or required), you can take your test on an Internet-access desktop computer for adults in the public area on the (fourth) floor.
