DECEMBER 2023 WINDOW TESTING UPDATE
- We currently offer two testing environments for the VA-BC Exam:
- Test Centers: in numerous locations across the U.S. and Canada, with select international sites.
- ProProctor Remotely-proctored Exams: launched in June 2020 in response to COVID
- We recommend you schedule your December 2023 exam at a test center to provide a user-friendly experience and limit testing issues.
- Due to large volumes and new technologies, ProProctor experienced some challenges in 2020 and 2021. These issues were continually addressed. Please ensure that your computer passes the system check prior to scheduling your appointment, and that you will have a secure internet connection and testing environment during your remote exam.
- The current testing option for international candidates (outside the U.S. and Canada) is ProProctor, though some international candidates may have a testing site operating near them.
