Staff Ratios

Each school will have one test coordinator and at least one technology monitor.

Room Staff Ratios

One proctor will be assigned per room. Then add one room monitor for the following scenarios:

  • Standard rooms with more than 34 students.
  • Larger rooms with more than 50 students (1 room monitor for each additional 50 students).
  • Extended time rooms with more than 20 students.

Example:

Room Type Number of Students Proctors Needed Room Monitors Needed
Standard time 34 1 0
Standard time 45 1 1
Standard time (large room) 145 1 3
Extended time 30 1 1

Hall Monitor Ratios

Test coordinators should plan to recruit at least one hall monitor for testing. If you have more than five testing rooms, add one hall monitor for every five rooms.

Example:

Number of Rooms Proctors Hall Monitors Test Coordinators
3 3 1 1
6 6 2 1

Special Scenarios

  • If your school is testing fewer than 35 students AND they are all in 1 room:
    • The test coordinator can serve as the hall monitor. No other hall monitor needs to be recruited in this case.
    • If the test coordinator is also acting as the proctor, 1 hall monitor will need to be recruited to ensure that at least 2 staff members are covering testing.
  • If there are fewer than 50 students testing at your school AND fewer than 5 testing rooms, the test coordinator may choose to serve as the hall monitor. No other hall monitor needs to be recruited in this scenario.

Examples of Staffing

School A:
  • Your school is testing 100 grade 11 standard testers.
  • You have 4 classrooms available, each with capacity for 25 students.

Therefore, you'll require seven staff:

  • 1 test coordinator
  • 1 technology monitor
  • 4 proctors
  • 1 hall monitor
School B:
  • Your school is testing 100 grade 11 standard testers.
  • You plan to test in 1 large room (e.g., cafeteria or gym).

Therefore, you will require six staff:

  • 1 test coordinator
  • 1 technology monitor
  • 1 proctor
  • 2 room monitors
  • 1 hall monitor
