PRoPL Security Policy

Information on the security protocols for PRoPL assessment completion.

To ensure fair student results, PRoPL is a secure online assessment where students will not have access to other applications. 

Security Protocols

To maintain a secure testing environment, proctors should:

•  Prevent students from having access to phones and other devices during testing.
  
  
• Avoid accessing, reading or photocopying the PRoPL assessment questions or reading passages.
  
  
• Refrain from providing direct assistance to students that may influence their response.
  
  
• Discourage students from discussing test questions or reading passages during any breaks.
  
  
• Prevent talking or other disruptions that distract students and compromise test security.

If a proctor believes that a security violation has occurred, they should alert their school or district testing coordinator. The testing coordinator is responsible for notifying McGraw Hill of the violation.

Student Confidentiality

Browser Extension

Students will be required to have the Pearson Arc Lockdown Browser extension installed on their device before being able to complete the PRoPL assessments. If a student does not have this installed, they will receive a message to install the Browser Extension before they will be able to start the assessment.
