We've added the word 'proctor' as a correct answer and it will go online with the next update. The 'one-by-one' version of the test already contains 'proctor':

Thank you for the feedback, Torsten.
When I checked the test a little while ago, 'proctor' was still not being accepted.

How often do you do the updates?

Hi Amy,

It depends on how many changes we make and how time Slava has available. I'll ask him to update the data base asap.

Thanks,
