A system for controlling the administration of remotely proctored, secure examinations at a remote test station, and a method for administering examinations. The system includes a central station, a registration station and a remote testing station. The central station includes (a) storage device for storing data, including test question data and verified biometric data, and (b) a data processor, operably connected to the storage device, for comparing test taker biometric data with stored, verified biometric data. The remote test station includes (a) a data processor, (b) a data storage device, operably connected to the data processor, for storing input data, (c) a biometric measurement device for inputting test taker biometric data to the processor, (d) a display for displaying test question data (e) an input for inputting test response data to the processor, (f) a recorder for recording proctoring data of a testing event, and (g) a communication link for communicating with the central station, for receiving test question data from the central station, and for communicating test taker biometric data, test response data, and proctoring data to the central station. Verification of the test taker and validation of the results can be performed either before or after the testing event.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for controlling the administration of remotely proctored, secure examinations at a remote test station, comprising:(1) a central station including (a) a storage device which stores data, including test question data and verified biometric data, and (b) a first data processor, operably connected to said storage device, for comparing test taker biometric data with said verified biometric data; and(2) a remote test station comprising (a) a second data processor, (b) a data storage device, operably connected to said second data processor, which stores input data, (c) a biometric measurement device which generates said test taker biometric data (d) a display which displays test question data, (e) an input for inputting test response data (f) a recording device generating proctoring data of a testing event, and (g) communicating circuitry which communicates with said central station, for receiving test question data from said central station, and for communicating said test taker biometric data, said test response data, and said proctoring data to said central station, wherein said biometric measurement device, said display, said recording device and said communication circuitry are operatively coupled to and controlled by said second data processor. [10.] A method for controlling the administration of remotely proctored, secure examinations at a remote testing station comprising the steps of:(a) storing verified biometric data at a central station;(b) storing test question data at said central station;(c) inputting test taker biometric data at the remote testing station to begin a testing event;(d) communicating said test taker biometric data to the central station and comparing said test taker biometric data with said verified biometric data to thereby verify said test taker biometric data;(e) making test question data from the central station available at the remote test station;(f) storing test response data, input in response to said test question data;(g) recording and storing audio/video proctoring data of said testing event;(h) ending said testing event; and(i) validating said testing event by reviewing said proctoring data for invalidating events. The method according to claim 10, further including the step of assigning an unique identifier to said testing event. The method according to claim 11, wherein said step (a) of storing said verified biometric data further comprises the steps of qualifying a registrant for a particular test, recording biometric data, collecting payment, and transmitting the recorded biometric data to the central station for storage as said verified biometric data. The method according to claim 12, further comprising the step of issuing a registration card containing registration data. The method according to claim 13, wherein step (c) cannot be performed until said registration data is transmitted to the central station. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the step of printing a record of said testing event including said identifier and said registration data. The method according to claim 10, wherein said step (e) comprises communicating said test data from the central station to the remote test station. The method according to claim 10, wherein said step (e) comprises unlocking test data already at the remote test station. The method according to claim 10, wherein said step (c) further comprises inputting other registrant data. The method according to claim 10, wherein step (e) is carried out only if said test taker biometric data is verified in step (d).
