What are the technical and proctoring requirements for taking the STAR test remotely?

If your child is taking the STAR test outside of a U.S. school, you will need to make sure the testing setup meets specific requirements. A compatible device, a stable internet connection, and a supported browser are essential to ensure the test runs smoothly. Some schools may ask for a parent, teacher, or professional proctor to supervise the exam to guarantee fairness and prevent outside assistance. Others may require online proctoring software. The goal is to create a controlled testing environment that mirrors what would happen in a classroom setting, so the results are valid and accepted by the requesting institution.
