I was able to take my Math placement test at home prior to my Freshman orientation a few weeks back - the testing window was 24 hours (for a 50 question test) with no anti-cheating measures in place other than the assumption that people wouldn’t cheat on a placement test and subsequently flounder in an upper level math class they couldn’t handle. However, the test also entailed a waiver for a particular general ed if one scored high enough - which I did. I later found out that I couldn’t waive the requirement unless I took the test on campus with a proctor. A pain in the ass to be honest, but I buckled down and retook it and ended up with the same score. I’m thankful I didn’t cheat (using a calculator counted as cheating in this case, along with the other typical tactics like googling answers or having someone else take the test) because it would look pretty suspicious if I placed into Calculus II the first time around only to get placed into Algebra II the second time, LOL.
Any University that gives degrees online/distance education and doesn’t require tests to be proctored is not worth considering. I would wager 90% of these are for profit and none of these classes transfer anywhere. All the programs worth a damn are upfront about it and provide a huge list of proctors available all throughout the USA. Many are free. Some cost just 5 bucks. Setting it up is easy. If your allowed to take tests/exams at home… RUN… or just give me your money. I’m sure I can come up with a better way to spend it
