This article explains how to create a testing location.
YouTestMe provides users with the capability to establish testing locations, enabling the scheduling of tests and the generation of statistical reports, which can be based on either geographical or virtual locations.
About testing locations #
Creating a testing location facilitates scheduling tests. Combined with the testing sessions feature, it allows the effective creation of tests for different user groups at different locations.
Each location can be a physical location or a virtual room. It has a predefined time zone and assigned proctors who supervise the test.
If you select the location when scheduling a testing session, note that all settings of the testing location will be applied to the testing session, particularly:
- The proctors assigned to the location automatically become the proctors of that testing session.
- The time zone of the location automatically becomes the session time zone.
Manually creating a testing location #
To manually create a new testing location, please follow these steps:
- In the main menu, select Testing Center.
- Navigate to the Testing locations.
- Click the Create new button.
In the New Testing Location popup window:
- Enter the name of the testing center.
- Optionally, enter the location external ID.
- Select the time zone that will be applied to all testing sessions at this location.
- Optionally, provide a location description.
- Specify the location capacity to limit the number of candidates allowed during a testing session.
- Upload a picture of the location.
- Use the Create button to save the new location.
Loading multiple locations using the Excel Template #
To create multipe testing locations, please follow these steps:

In the Load Testing Location popup window:

When a created location is assigned to a testing session, the proctors for that location will automatically become the session proctors as well.
