Is it better to take the CORE Exam via online proctoring or at a test center?
The decision is best individualized. Online proctoring allows examinees to be tested in any location that has an environment appropriate for the testing experience, proper computer equipment, and a reliable internet connection. Thus, online proctoring can be more convenient and time-saving than traveling to a test center. However, with online proctoring, it is the examinee who is responsible for assuring the appropriate environment, computer equipment, and internet connection. If any of these are faulty, the exam may be canceled or invalidated and the examinee may have to wait until the next cycle to take the exam. At a test center, the environment, equipment, and internet connection are the responsibility of the test center company.
