Proctoring

In an effort to support continuing education, lifelong learning and as a public service, the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library offers proctoring services for students who need to take exams.

Proctoring Policy

Scheduling

Exam proctoring is available during regular library hours depending on availability. Exam must be completed at least 30 minutes before the library’s closing. We encourage you to make an appointment at least one week before the required test date.

Exam proctoring fees are $25.00 per test, which is waived for residents of Berlin, East Berlin, and Kensington. The proctor fee must be paid at the time the exam is taken. The library can only accept cash at this time.
