How to Proctor a Regents Exam Online
The official New York State Regents Examinations are locked down tighter than most licensing exams: NYSED requires a school proctor to receive the sealed exam booklet about one hour before the start time, and booklets never leave the building. There is no remote-proctoring path for the live Regents administration. What Neuroxa is built for is the practice side -- Regents prep sessions and full-length mock exams that tutoring centers, summer-school programs, and homeschool groups run in the weeks before the January, June, or August administration windows.
