In Canada you don't proctor an exam. You invigilate an exam.

It's the same in the UK (as Canada, that is).

(Been there, did that)

That is *so* much better than "proctoring".

I like it better.

I always thought Proctor sounded like it should involve latex gloves. Which, actually, was fitting for many of the exams I took...

I love my invigilatologist. You hardly even know he's there.

In Soviet Russia, exams invigilate you.

I misread that as 'inveigle' the first three times I read it.

It's invigilate here in Malaysia too... which isn't surprising, since our education system was developed when we were Brit-owned.

Hm, at McGill we used both interchangeably. Though the official title of the people was Invigilator.

Maybe we just had a lot of murricans around or something.
