LIVE REMOTE PROCTORING (LRP)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Before selecting Live Remove Proctoring (LRP) as your preferred examination format, an alternative to a Pearson VUE center:
- Read all the requirements for testing online using a personal computer (LRP)

What is Live Remote Proctoring (LRP)?
Live Remote Proctoring allows you to take your certification exam securely from home instead of traveling to a testing center. 果冻传媒offers LRP through the Pearson OnVUE system. The process includes monitoring by a live proctor who observes you throughout your testing experience, as would happen if you were testing at your school or a testing center.
What are the technical requirements for testing via LRP?
Make sure you can meet both technical and location requirements for LRP.
Technical requirements
- You must run ahead of time to check the compatibility of your computer with the testing application. Additional information can be found at:
- LRP requires at a minimum: a functioning personal computer, a webcam and microphone for observation during the examination, and a strong internet connection.
Location requirements
- You are required to test in an enclosed, private space that allows you to maintain a strong and stable internet connection and where you can test without external interruptions.
- An ideal testing space would allow you to close a door to avoid interruptions.
- You are not allowed to test at a public location with available Wi-Fi (e.g., an internet caf茅, local coffee shop, or library).
Since I don’t have a personal computer, can I use a laptop or PC from my school or employer?
Taking a live-proctored exam on a shared computer is not advised. While the machine may pass the system test before you schedule your remote proctored exam, there could be a problem during the exam. The Pearson Vue Onvue proctoring program that runs the test does not play well with firewalls or security programs that school or employer computers often need. This is because the Onvue proctoring program is constantly checking to ensure it is the ONLY program running, that you only have one monitor, and your webcam/mic is working.
How do I sign up for LRP vs in-center testing?
Make your choice when you initially apply for either RMA or RPT certification on the 果冻传媒website. After selecting your certification and eligibility route you will see "Please select the examination format you would prefer" and you’ll choose either 1) Online on a personal computer (LRP) or 2) At a Pearson VUE testing center.
How do I schedule my exam?
Once approved to test, go to on the Pearson VUE website and set up an account. This account is separate from your My 果冻传媒Portal. You will schedule your test time and date through your Pearson VUE account.
Can I switch from LRP to testing at a Pearson VUE site or vice versa?
We strongly encourage you to perform a system check and read about the testing experience before you apply. If you need to change your test site selection from LRP to taking your exam at a Pearson VUE site or the other way around—from a Pearson VUE site to LRP—log into My 果冻传媒Portal. Once logged in, click on the "My Applications" tab. Fill out the "Testing Change Form - Active Applicants ONLY" under the "My Status Section". Once submitted, please allow 7-10 business days for 果冻传媒to update your current testing authorization. If you had already scheduled an exam time with Pearson, please be sure to cancel your appointment before submitting the "Testing Change Form."
NOTE: To avoid a missed testing fee, you must cancel any existing Pearson VUE appointment no later than 24 hours before your test date. To make a new appointment, you must wait until you receive your new Authorization to Test notification.
What happens on test day using LRP?
Check-in process:
- You can begin the check-in process up to 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Make sure you unplug and turn off any additional monitors and shut down any non-essential applications such as email and messaging applications before checking in for your exam.
- First, you’ll sign into your Pearson VUE account and download the temporary file from On VUE to start the check-in process.
- Next, you will take photos of your government-issued ID, your testing environment, and a headshot of yourself. You’ll receive clear directions about how to use either your smart phone or webcam to submit these to Pearson VUE. Your photos will be reviewed to make sure the headshot and ID align. If your pictures do not pass review, you will be contacted by a greeter as soon as possible to help you troubleshoot and correct the situation.
- Most candidates will start their exam within 15 minutes of their appointment time.
Taking the test with a live remote proctor:
- You will be monitored by a Pearson VUE-certified proctor via webcam AND microphone throughout your test to ensure the integrity and security of your exam experience.

Should this occur, the recorded documentation will be reviewed to determine if and when the examinee can retest. A retesting fee will be required.
