I took it online, just can’t have anything near you like papers or a pen, I basically just took everything out of my room/stuffed into drawers. Had to cover my tv screen with a blanket and if you have like clutter and stuff in your room just throw a sheet over it. They make you do a room tour with the camera first and make sure you have a mirror so you can show them your computer/keyboard. Also can’t have any noise during the exam. Kind of a pain but as I’m sure you know the exam itself is very easy.
How many people are in each test proctoring session and how often are the tests?
You can book it pretty much any day. I booked my exam the day before actually. I didn’t see any other people in the same browser, but it’s entirely possible they probably are addressing multiple exam takers at the same time. Nonetheless, you won’t be bothered by some random dude coughing or asking a question.
Thanks for the info. Do you have any advice on how to best prepare for the exam or any tips you used to pass?
STC is what I used, it’s pretty solid if you go through the course watch the videos and do the practice tests/questions you’ll be fine and the test will be a breeze. If you really wanted to go all out you could get the Kaplan Q bank questions to.
Pretty intensive in terms of checking the environment. Asked me to take a video of the bottom of my desk and chair, basically any surface around.
Same it was pretty thorough
is it pretty easy to pass if you have a background in finance? How many hours should be put into prep and how many weeks should you give yourself?
