The library proctors written or e-mailed exams for adult Longwood Public Library cardholders at no charge. A minimum of one week’s notice is required before any test will be proctored. Appointments can be made by telephone (631) 924-6400, x243 or by email.
Test proctoring is not available on Saturdays or Sundays.
The student is responsible for ensuring that the exam and other required materials are sent to the proctor from the learning institution before arriving to take the test. The proctor is not responsible for contacting the learning institution to get exam materials or proctor forms but will return proctor forms directly to the school when asked to do so. At the time of testing, the student must provide current photo identification that matches the name on the testing materials. Proctors will enforce any time limits or other rules set forth in exam materials but will not sit with the student for the length of the exam.
