Mock invigilated experience (MIE) Online invigilation (proctoring)

You'll have the opportunity to do a mock invigilated experience (MIE) before the actual exam. The MIE shouldn't take more than half an hour.

The MIE will not be testing your knowledge of the module. It will give you an opportunity to experience what it's like to be invigilated online, to go through the room checks and ID verification process, and to uncover any technical issues you may have. Students who complete the mock invigilation are much more likely to have a positive experience on the day of the exam.

You'll be provided with details on your module website on how to create an account with ProctorU, schedule an MIE, and how to start it.

Test your equipment before the MIE

Once you have a ProctorU account, you'll see a link on the dashboard to Test Your Equipment. This will tell you if your equipment meets the minimum hardware requirements and that you have all the required peripherals such as a webcam, speakers and microphone.
