1 a person whose job is to watch people taking an exam in order to check that they do not cheat:
Any test should be administered by a proctor at a testing centre.
Most cheating accusations come from students or exam proctors.
The proctors are expected to be circulating, to be looking at what students are doing.
Stealing test materials would also be more difficult for test proctors.
The tests were carefully proctored to ensure that this did not happen.
I asked the proctors whether there had been any maladministration in my constituent's examination.
I found it difficult to get the proctors or the vice-chancellor to budge.
It must be remembered that the proctors, the professors and others have the responsibility of running the university and of teaching students.
