Advice on S79 Exam - Online or In-Person?

Hi,

I know there are a ton of threads on this topic already, but I haven't been able to find one on this very specific question and am planning to take the exam in 4-5 days so I was hoping to get thoughts on which is better so I can schedule effectively. Has anyone here taken the exam online/remotely? I know there is a good chunk of math questions, so I was wondering if anyone here has taken it online and how their experience was.

Thank you!

Took the SIE and 79 remotely. For the 79 you must submit an ‘application’ requesting to take it virtually, but all you have to say is “I’d like to minimize exposure to Covid” and they’ll approve it. Bit annoying to not have a physical calculator (or being able to use numerical keys on keyboard) but you’ve a notepad where you can map out your calculations and then a virtual calculator.

(In line with what some others have said, the 63 is only in-person if you’ve very specific accommodations)

 

I know this isnt the appropriate thread to ask but do we ever get the 79 exam score breakdown?
