Computer-based testing is administered at test centers nationwide. Alternatively, at-home testing is delivered remotely under the supervision of an online proctor. While it might initially seem an advantage to take the test from your home or workplace rather than traveling to a testing center, there are several factors to consider when deciding which scenario to choose.
At-home testing has several technical requirements you will want to verify you meet before registering. It is possible to run an equipment readiness check to ensure that your operating system is compatible. Additionally, there are requirements for your environment and testing space that need to be adhered to, such as no one else may be present in the room or enter the room for the duration of the exam; otherwise, your exam will be terminated and/or your results invalidated.
