Magento2 exam difference between online and onsite proctored?
As the name suggests, in the online proctored exam, you are allowed to take the exam online from your place. But in that case, there are some pre-conditions which you need to fulfill.
In the onsite proctored exam, you need to appear for the exam at the pre-qualified test centers, which have all the pre-conditions satisfied.
If you have all required resources available and you can arrange those resources as per the conditions asked by Magento, it is better to take Online Proctored Exam (in my opinion).
Below are the conditions which you need to satisfy if you are planning for the online proctored exam.
- A PC with Windows or MacOS and admin rights
- Adobe Flash
- A webcam which is not built-in so you can arrange it freely
- A microphone (can be built into the webcam or the laptop)
- A fast internet connection with at least 1 Mbit/s upload and download Only one screen
- An undisturbed location with some space
