SAT proctors are paid hourly. The national average hourly pay for a SAT proctor is $14. However, depending on the proctor’s location, expertise, and credentials, the hourly salary might range from $9 to $20. Proctors can make more money than the national average if they work in highly sought-after fields or have specific expertise. Proctoring an SAT test is a part-time position that is typically available only to adults with a high school diploma.
Proctor Duties
To ensure test integrity, proctors oversee student identification verification, the distribution and collection of exam materials, and the enforcement of testing regulations. Proctors announce time remaining during test sections and record the exact start and end times. Most test centers require proctors to collect and hold cell phones and other prohibited electronic devices during the test.
