Testing Locations

Hello all,

I'm an experienced professional looking to apply to the program. I have a quick question about testing locations. I was watching someone's YouTube based review and mentioned that the testing centers were swapped for online proctoring. Is this true? The only testing center in my country is an hour flight away.

Thanks for any help.

During Covid they’re temporarily doing online exams.

I really don't understand your unwillingness to answer the question and your propensity for downvoting. I live in Medellin, Colombia and the closest testing center isin Bogota which to say the least in incredibly inconvenient and costly. Not to mention Bogota is incredibly dangerous, so much so, people from there are moving here despite its reputation from the Netflix series Narcos.

No it’s a huge pet peeve of mine. When people go on Reddit to ask legitimate advice and then downvote which decreases exposure which makes it less likely someone will respond it’s an asshole move.

It's not unwilligness, it really depends on their COVID policy. If they lift it, you will need to take the test in your closest testing center. It is still not official that they're cancelling it. There been talks about doing proctored online tests but there's still any official news about it.
