What Is an Online Proctored Exam?

An online proctored exam is an assessment you sit on your own computer while being watched via webcam and microphone. Instead of going to a large exam centre, you connect to a remote proctor (or automated proctoring system) who:

  • Checks and records your ID
  • Asks you to scan the room with your webcam
  • Monitors your screen, audio and video during the exam
  • Flags anything that looks like external help or cheating

Because of this, exam providers usually have detailed rules about the room environment, including how many doors and windows it can have, whether walls can be glass, and what is allowed on your desk or walls.

Typical Room Requirements for Online Proctored Exams

Always check your exam provider’s exact instructions (they override everything here). However, most use similar wording to describe the exam environment. Common requirements include:

  • Only one doorway into the room, ideally visible to the webcam
  • The room is private and you are alone for the entire exam
  • Minimal background noise and no interruptions
  • Walls, doors and the desk are clear of posters, notes, papers and books, unless specifically allowed
  • No extra screens or devices in view, except the one being used for the exam
  • Good lighting, so your face, desk and surrounding area are clearly visible

Some providers also comment on glass doors or windows. They may allow them as long as no one else is visible and there is no risk of communication, while others prefer solid walls only. That’s why it’s important to understand the exact layout of the Meeting Pod and how we can set it up for you.

About the Salt Space Meeting Pod – Layout & Features

The Salt Space Meeting Pod is a small, private room located inside our coworking space in New Farm, Brisbane. It has been used successfully by many people for online proctored exams and remote testing.

Room Structure

  • A single glass door with a solid frame (your webcam can be positioned to keep this door in view)
  • One external window facing the street (not an internal office window)
  • Solid internal walls on the remaining sides
  • A standard-height desk and comfortable chair
  • Power outlets for laptop and charger

The glass door and street-facing window make the room feel light and open, while still being quiet and private. If your exam instructions prefer less visibility, we can adjust blinds and your camera angle to minimise distractions and ensure no one is visible outside.

Noise & Privacy

  • The Pod is used as a one-person room during exams – you’ll be alone for the full session.
  • We manage bookings to keep noise around the Pod to a minimum.
  • You can wear headphones if your exam provider allows them.

Desk Setup

  • Clear desk surface for your laptop and any allowed exam materials
  • Minimal wall clutter – nothing directly in front of you with text or diagrams
  • Optional extra monitor can be removed if your exam rules require only one screen

Lighting & Internet

  • Bright, even lighting that works well on camera
  • Stable high-speed Wi-Fi suitable for long video calls
  • Option to bring your own mobile hotspot as a backup if you prefer

Is a Room with a Glass Door and Window Acceptable for Proctored Exams?

This is one of the most common questions we get from people searching for a proctored exam room in Brisbane.

The Meeting Pod has:

  • One glass door opening into the coworking space
  • One window facing the street

Most online proctoring services are comfortable with this setup as long as:

  • No one else is visible through the glass for the duration of the exam
  • There is no communication in or out of the room
  • The proctor can clearly see your surroundings during the initial room scan

We help you do this by:

  • Booking the Pod so you are alone and undisturbed
  • Adjusting your seating position and camera angle so the proctor can see the door and general room
  • Using blinds/curtains (where available) if you or your exam rules prefer less visibility through the window

Ultimately, it is your responsibility to check your provider’s policy on glass doors and windows. If their rules state that the room must have only solid walls, please send those details to us first so we can confirm whether the Meeting Pod will be acceptable.

Step-by-Step: Using the Meeting Pod for Your Online Proctored Exam

  1. Check your exam rules.
    Look for sections titled “Room requirements”, “Environment guidelines” or “Remote proctored exam instructions”. Pay particular attention to any wording about glass doors, windows and extra screens.
  2. Book the Meeting Pod.
    Choose a timeslot that covers:
    • At least 30 minutes before your exam start time
    • The full exam duration
    • At least 30 minutes after your scheduled finish time
    This gives you enough time for ID checks, room scans, technical setup and any upload time at the end.

    Book the Meeting Pod for your online exam in New Farm
  3. Arrive early.
    We’ll show you to the Pod, connect you to Wi-Fi if needed, and answer any questions about the room layout.
  4. Set up your exam area.
    Place your laptop, charger and allowed materials on the desk. Remove any non-permitted items and position your webcam so that your face, desk and door are clearly visible.
  5. Connect to your proctor.
    Log into your exam portal, run the system checks and begin the room scan. Walk the webcam around the Pod so the proctor can see the glass door, window and surrounding area.
  6. Sit your exam.
    Once approved, you’ll complete the exam with a quiet, stable environment and no home distractions.
  7. Finish, upload and pack up.
    After submitting your exam, complete any exit steps, pack up your things and you’re done.

What Types of Online Proctored Exams Suit the Meeting Pod?

People have used the Salt Space Meeting Pod for a wide range of online exams, including:

  • University mid-semester and final exams (Australian and international universities)
  • Accounting and finance exams – CPA, CA and other professional pathways
  • Government and public service assessments
  • HR, recruitment and psychometric testing
  • IT certification exams and online training assessments

If you’re looking for “online exam room hire near Brisbane CBD” or “private room for proctored test New Farm”, the Meeting Pod offers a convenient, calm space just minutes from the city.

What to Bring on the Day

Every exam is different, but as a guide, consider bringing:

  • Your laptop and charger (some exams may require a wired mouse or external webcam)
  • Approved photo ID (e.g. driver’s licence or passport)
  • Headphones, if allowed by your exam rules
  • Any permitted note paper, pens or printed materials
  • A permitted calculator, if required
  • A water bottle (label-free, if your provider specifies this)
  • Your login details and confirmation email for the exam

Always follow your exam provider’s instructions first; they will state exactly what is and isn’t allowed in the room.

FAQs – Booking the Salt Space Meeting Pod for Online Exams

1. Is the glass door and window a problem for remote proctoring?

For most providers, a glass door and external window are acceptable as long as no one else is visible and there is no communication into the room. During the room scan, the proctor will check this. If your exam rules specifically ban glass walls or require completely solid walls, send the policy to us so we can confirm whether the Meeting Pod will be suitable.

2. How quiet is the Meeting Pod?

The Pod is used as a one-person meeting room and exam room. We manage bookings so that noise is kept low in nearby areas, and most people find it significantly quieter and more controlled than home environments.

3. Can I book a trial session before my real exam?

Yes. Many people like to book a shorter practice session to test their laptop, exam portal and proctoring software in the Pod. This can reduce stress on the real exam day.

4. How long should I book the room for?

We recommend booking:

  • Exam duration + at least 30 minutes before
  • Plus at least 30 minutes after

For example, for a 3-hour exam, many people book a 4–4.5 hour block to allow time for ID checks, delays and upload time.

5. Is the Wi-Fi strong enough for long video calls?

Yes, the Wi-Fi at Salt Space is suitable for video proctoring and extended online exams. You can also bring your own mobile hotspot if you’d like a backup connection.

6. How do I book the Meeting Pod for my online exam?

You can book online in just a few minutes.

Why online exams have strict room & tech rules

Modern proctoring platforms (used by universities and certification bodies) maintain exam integrity by enforcing private, interruption-free rooms, a clear desk, good lighting for your face and hands, working webcam/microphone, and stable internet. Many also require a room scan (including under the desk and the doorway), no third parties entering the space, and restrictions on accessories (e.g. headsets not allowed or single-monitor only). Because not meeting these can lead to delays or cancellations, choosing a dedicated, exam-ready space matters.

How the Meeting Pod maps to exam requirements (box-by-box)

Common requirementHow the Meeting Pod helps you comply
Private, enclosed room with no interruptions The Meeting Pod is a private, sound-controlled 1–2 person room. Shut the door and focus without café noise or passers-by. It’s designed for calls, interviews and online exams.
Clean desk & quick room scan (desk surface, under desk, doorway) The Pod’s compact footprint makes tidying simple. Arrive early, keep the surface clear, and be ready to show the room on camera in seconds.
Face, hands, keyboard/mouse visible on camera The seating and desk depth make it easy to frame you + workspace. If your rules permit an external camera, there’s room to position it.
Stable internet with system checks Fast, reliable Wi-Fi is included (details on Pod signage). You’re welcome to arrive early to connect and run your provider’s system test before starting.
Restrictions on headsets and external monitors The Pod offers an optional monitor (HDMI/USB-C) for permitted exams. If your rules ban external displays or headsets, simply don’t use them. Stick to your laptop mic/speakers and single screen if required.
Comfort (lighting, temperature, breaks per rules) Air-conditioning and natural light keep you comfortable. You’ll also have access to shared facilities with complimentary tea/coffee/milk.

How to keep costs low (smart booking tips)

Pick the right‑size room

If it’s just you and a client, the Meeting Pod is the most affordable, private choice. For small teams, workshops or board‑style client reviews, choose the Main Meeting Room to get a large screen, camera and whiteboard.

Bundle with a Virtual Office

Running regular meetings? A Virtual Office plan gives you a professional business address (ASIC/ABN/Google‑ready) and 50% off meeting room bookings, which adds up fast across a year.

Book only what you need

Use hourly for short sessions in the pod; step up to full‑day if you’re delivering a longer workshop in the meeting room. If you need to stay and work before/after, consider a hot desk or dedicated desk for focus time.

Leverage on‑site facilities

Avoid extra runs to the shops or printers. We provide tea, coffee, filtered water and fast Wi‑Fi, plus an on‑site printing service for any handouts you forgot.

Getting here, parking & local breaks

Breakout & workspace before/after your meeting

Why Look Outside the CBD for a Meeting Room?

Meeting in the Brisbane CBD might sound impressive, but let’s be honest — the drawbacks are real:

  • Paid parking (if you can even find a spot)
  • Traffic congestion
  • Long elevator rides in corporate towers
  • No-shows thanks to public transport delays
  • Tight, impersonal rooms that cost a fortune

That’s why so many professionals are moving their meetings just ten minutes outside the city, to suburbs like New Farm — and more specifically, Salt Space.

Here’s why Salt Space is one of the best meeting room options outside Brisbane CBD.

1. 🏡 The Location: New Farm Has Everything You Need

Situated in the heart of New Farm, Salt Space is surrounded by cafés, bakeries, supermarkets, and leafy streets — all just a short ride from the city.

Key advantages:

  • Unlimited free street parking nearby
  • Bus stops (199 and 196) right outside
  • Cafés and restaurants next door for catering or coffee runs
  • Located on Brunswick Street — easy for everyone to find

It’s a location that offers inner-city convenience without the inner-city chaos.

2. 🪑 Two Private Meeting Rooms to Choose From

At Salt Space, you get two beautifully maintained, private meeting spaces:

📍 The Meeting Room

  • Seats up to 8 people
  • 60-inch TV with HDMI & USB-C
  • Whiteboard included

🎓 Why Students in Brisbane Need Private Exam Rooms for Online Tests

(And Where to Find the Perfect Space in New Farm)

With the rise of remote learning, many university students now find themselves taking online exams and virtual assessments from home. But as more institutions offer flexible learning formats, students are quickly discovering that home isn’t always the best environment for high-stakes exams.

Whether you’re studying at UQ, QUT, Griffith, or any of Brisbane’s other major institutions, this guide will help you understand why you may need a dedicated exam space, what to look for, and how Salt Space Coworking in New Farm can help.

📚 Why Home Isn’t Always the Best Place for Online Exams

While studying from home has its perks, it presents several challenges during exam time—when focus, stability, and silence are essential. Here are common issues students face:

1. Noise and Distractions

From housemates chatting in the kitchen to barking dogs, home environments aren’t built with concentration in mind. Even minor background noise can be flagged by online proctoring software.

2. Unstable Internet Connection

Not all households have consistent high-speed internet. Buffering, lag, or dropped connections during an exam can mean disqualification or having to resit.

3. Limited Space and Privacy

Not everyone has a dedicated home office. Taking an exam in a shared bedroom or at the dining table means interruptions are almost guaranteed.

4. Lack of Exam-Ready Setup

Online exams often have strict tech requirements—laptop charging access, camera positioning, and a stable surface. Makeshift setups can cause stress or technical failure.

5. Exam Proctoring Rules

Online invigilation (using AI or human proctors) requires a quiet, closed-off space where nobody else can be seen or heard. Shared living doesn’t always make this possible.

🏙️ Common Alternatives to Taking Online Exams at Home

Here are some options students consider—and the pros and cons of each:

Location Pros Cons
University Library Free access, reliable internet Often noisy, limited privacy, not available after hours
Public Libraries Quiet, free WiFi Limited availability, may not allow private rooms
Cafés or Co-working cafés WiFi, open long hours Not private, noisy, unsuitable for proctored exams
Campus Study Rooms Designed for students Require pre-booking, limited hours, not always secure
Friend’s House Change of scenery Same risks as home—unpredictable environment

While these options work for casual study, they often fall short for high-stakes, time-sensitive online exams.

✅ What You Really Need in an Online Exam Location

Here’s a checklist of what’s required for a smooth online testing experience:

✔️ Stable, High-Speed Internet

Upload and download speeds should meet or exceed your university’s or exam software’s requirements.

✔️ No Background Noise

Online proctoring tools monitor audio. You’ll need complete silence—no TVs, conversations, or external noise.

✔️ Private, Closed-Off Room

A door that closes is essential. You can’t risk someone entering mid-exam or being seen on camera.

✔️ Strong Lighting

You must be visible on camera at all times. Poor lighting can flag security issues.

✔️ Desk and Power Access

You’ll need a desk surface, comfortable chair, and power outlets for your laptop and webcam.

✔️ Compliance with Exam Software

Some platforms require screen sharing, camera scanning of the room, or recording audio throughout.

🧾 Real Student Scenarios

🎓 1. “My Housemates Are Too Loud”

Sarah, a UQ law student, had her final exam for Administrative Law at 8am. With her housemates still waking up and the blender going in the kitchen, she couldn’t focus. She booked the Meeting Pod and had a silent, stress-free session with strong WiFi and a comfortable seat.

🎓 2. “My Internet Keeps Dropping”

Mohammed, studying IT at Griffith, was flagged by proctoring software twice due to internet lag. He now books the Meeting Pod for every online exam.

🎓 3. “I Need to Take an Exam After-Hours”

Jess from QUT works part-time and could only take her test in the evening. With Salt Space’s after-hours access, she used the Meeting Pod at 7pm and passed with ease.

🧠 Additional Tips for a Successful Online Exam

1. Do a Tech Check the Day Before

Test your camera, microphone, and WiFi in the space you plan to use.

2. Arrive Early

Give yourself 15–30 minutes to get settled, power up, and check lighting.

3. Bring Backup Devices

If possible, have your phone nearby (on silent) in case of technical issues.

4. Bring Valid ID

Most exams require ID to be shown at the beginning.

5. Avoid Browser Extensions

Proctoring software may flag unfamiliar extensions—disable them before the exam.

🧾 Booking the Meeting Pod at Salt Space

Booking is simple:

  1. Check availability on our online calendar
  2. Submit your booking request
  3. Access details for after-hours will be sent with confirmation
  4. Come early and bring your ID
