Exam Details
Should I take the PMP online or at a test center?
The short answer
Pearson VUE test centers offer a controlled setting. Online proctoring allows testing from home but requires candidates to strictly follow current Pearson VUE and PMI remote proctoring rules regarding workspace setup and physical movement.
Testing at a Pearson VUE Center
Test centers provide the necessary hardware, an established internet connection, and a standardized quiet environment. This option can minimize technical and environmental variables for the candidate.
Online Proctored Testing
Remote testing provides scheduling convenience but mandates a rigorous testing environment. Candidates must consult the current Pearson VUE rules regarding desk clearance, room privacy, internet stability, and continuous on-camera visibility to ensure their testing session is compliant.
