Test proctoring is available to the public at all branches of the Solano County Library system.  The library’s ability to proctor tests is limited to branch operating hours and the availability of staff.  Please contact your local branch by phone (1-866-57-ASKUS) or submit an e-mail  to schedule your appointment at least two weeks prior to your desired examination date.  The library will try to the best of its ability to fulfill all requests, but cannot guarantee test proctoring services.
