What is the role of the proctor regarding test materials?

• A. The proctor makes the final determination regarding acceptable aids and materials.
• B. The proctor grades the test and assigns a score.
• C. The proctor determines which questions are included on the AKTR.
• D. The proctor approves all retake endorsements.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is who controls what materials are allowed during the test. The proctor’s job is to enforce test integrity by deciding which aids and materials are acceptable for use during the administration. This means they confirm you’re allowed to use only the permitted items and that no unauthorized materials are available, ensuring every test-taker has the same conditions.

The proctor does not grade the test or assign a score—that’s done by the testing system after you finish. They also don’t decide which questions appear on the assessment; the content is prepared and selected by the test developers. Retake endorsements aren’t approved by the proctor either; those decisions are handled through separate certification procedures.

If you’re unsure about what’s allowed, check the posted rules before you start and ask the proctor for clarification before the test begins.
