AutoGraw Proctor Compatibility: Requirements and Setup
Proctor Compatibility is an optional AutoGraw add-on for supported Mac environments where McGraw Hill coursework is paired with additional testing software. It is not part of the standard browser-only installation, and it is not necessary for ordinary supported Connect assignments that do not use a proctored environment.
Key takeaways
Proctor Compatibility is an optional add-on for supported Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later.
It does not replace course requirements or guarantee compatibility with every testing environment.
Confirm your device and exact setup with support before purchasing the add-on.
The current public requirements are an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 or newer processor and macOS 13 or later. The add-on is not offered for Windows. Because testing software, institution rules, and course configurations vary, students should confirm their exact setup before purchasing.
Proctor Compatibility does not replace or remove any requirement set by a school or instructor. It does not guarantee compatibility with every testing product, version, assessment, or device configuration. Users remain responsible for following all course and academic-integrity rules.
Who should consider the add-on?
Consider Proctor Compatibility only when all of the following are true:
- Your McGraw Hill course uses a separate proctoring or secure-testing environment.
- Your computer is an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 or newer processor.
- It runs macOS 13 or later.
- The exact environment has been confirmed as supported.
- Your institution permits the software you plan to use.
If your assignments run in an ordinary Chromium browser and do not launch separate testing software, the standard AutoGraw plan may be the relevant product. Do not add Proctor Compatibility “just in case” without first checking the course instructions and your device.
How to identify a proctored course requirement
Read the instructions for the specific quiz or exam. A proctored assessment may mention a secure browser, a monitoring application, an access check, identity verification, camera or microphone permission, screen recording, or a required pre-exam setup.
Do not infer the requirement from the course name or from another student's experience. Two sections of the same course can use different settings. The instructions displayed by the institution and instructor are the controlling source.
If the wording is unclear, ask the instructor which software and version are required. For AutoGraw compatibility questions, send that exact product name and your Mac details to the official support channel before checkout.
Current device requirements
The public AutoGraw pricing interface currently lists:
- Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 processor or newer
- macOS 13 or later
- A supported AutoGraw plan that includes the Proctor Compatibility entitlement
Windows is not supported for this add-on. An Intel Mac does not meet the stated Apple Silicon requirement. Standard AutoGraw browser support and Proctor Compatibility system support are separate: a browser that can install Tampermonkey does not automatically make the device eligible for the add-on.
Check About This Mac to identify the chip and macOS version. On current macOS releases, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. The window should name the chip and installed macOS version.
What the add-on includes
Standard AutoGraw is a Tampermonkey userscript. Proctor Compatibility adds a Mac-specific component and license entitlement intended for the supported environment. It works alongside the normal AutoGraw setup rather than replacing Tampermonkey, the userscript, or the license-redemption flow.
The exact behavior can depend on the testing software and page configuration. That is why the site presents Proctor Compatibility as an optional add-on with explicit requirements instead of claiming that the standard userscript works in every restricted environment.
Current Proctor Compatibility pricing
As of October 21, 2026, the pricing interface shows these totals when Proctor Compatibility is enabled:
| Plan | Standard access | With Proctor Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $14.99 per month | $19.99 per month |
| Lifetime | $79.99 once | $94.99 once |
Monthly access renews automatically until canceled. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase under the terms shown at checkout. Prices and entitlements can change, so confirm the total on the current pricing page before paying.
The site's refund policy says digitally delivered purchases are final except where applicable law requires otherwise. This makes pre-purchase compatibility confirmation especially important.
Setup sequence
The supported sequence is:
- Confirm the required testing environment with the course or instructor.
- Verify that the Mac has an M1-or-newer chip and macOS 13 or later.
- Confirm the exact compatibility question with AutoGraw support.
- Select Proctor Compatibility on the pricing card before checkout.
- Complete the normal AutoGraw installation: Tampermonkey, userscript, supported page, and license redemption.
- Follow the add-on instructions delivered for the Mac component.
- Complete any institution-required practice test or system check before the real assessment.
Do not wait until minutes before an exam to install software, update macOS, or test permissions. Camera, microphone, screen-recording, accessibility, and security prompts can require a restart or additional approval.
What Proctor Compatibility does not promise
The add-on should not be described as “undetectable,” a bypass, or a guarantee that other software cannot observe activity. Those claims are both misleading and impossible to support across every browser, operating-system version, institutional configuration, and third-party service.
It also does not change the assignment's timer, due date, allowed attempts, access code, identity checks, or instructor rules. It does not create permission to use AutoGraw where a course prohibits outside tools.
Before any proctored assessment, review the rules shown by the school and testing provider. If the assessment prohibits a tool, do not use it.
Troubleshooting before an assessment
If a supported setup does not start correctly, record the exact point of failure. “It does not work” is not enough to diagnose whether the problem is the browser userscript, license entitlement, Mac component, operating-system permission, or testing product.
Capture:
- Mac model and chip
- macOS version
- Browser and version
- AutoGraw userscript version
- Name and version of the required testing software
- Exact error text
- Whether the standard AutoGraw menu loads outside the testing environment
- A screenshot with personal information, course identifiers, and the license key removed
Use the official AutoGraw Discord for support. Do not post exam content, account credentials, or license keys.
When the standard plan is enough
The standard plan may be enough when coursework opens in a supported Chromium desktop browser and no separate secure-testing environment is required. It includes the main AutoGraw userscript workflow and settings described in the AutoGraw feature overview.
Buying the add-on does not make normal assignments “more compatible” simply because they are important. The deciding factor is the supported environment and hardware requirement, not the assignment's grade weight.
