If I have already scheduled my exam to take the test at a traditional testing center but want to change to the remote setting, can I do so and how? Is there a change fee involved?
If you are registered in a test center and want to switch to ProProctor, please cancel your test center appointment first.
Then you will use your eligibility number from your Authorization to Test letter to schedule via ProProctor for a remotely proctored exam by picking your day and time
There is no additional fee involved
Are there any additional fees associated with remote testing?
No.

Where do I physically take a remote test and what set up is involved?
How do you validate my identity in a remote proctoring situation?

You must have a web-camera and microphone. This can be a detachable web-camera or a webcam in your laptop. You can test your computer and equipment by performing the required system check.
