CISM online exam? Experience?

Hello,

I'm planning to schedule my CISM exam for late November or early December.

My question is: how cumbersome is it to take the online proctored exam? I’ve read some horror stories about candidates being failed for minor things, like looking up at the ceiling or briefly putting a hand in front of their face.

I prefer taking exams at a test center, like I did for the CISSP. However, the next available center offering the CISM is about a six-hour drive and one ferry ride away, and the only available start time is 8 a.m. That would mean a two-day trip and a hotel stay.

So for this exam, I’m really considering the online option instead. Does anyone have thoughts or personal experience with it?

Thanks!
