There is a practice test. You must get some locals to schedule a test where they observe you taking it.

When covid hit they allowed online testing via ZOOM. It is still available to be taken this way.

You also might want to go ahead and get a FCC-required FRN number on their website. You'll need it to get signed up for any licensing exams either online or in-person.

7 3 and good luck

Correct. To take an actual official amateur test online, you have to find a local VEC and coordinate with him. You will be required to set up multiple cameras from various angles in the room with you. This is for the VEC's to be able to observe you and your surrounding testing environment while actually taking the test.

The hardest part of online testing for me was setting up the frn# and the things involved with the fcc. Second would be the testing itself. Not the information but locking myself into the bathroom with a computer and a cell phone camera so they could watch me.

I was in a bathroom. With internet viewing devices. Alone. Being watched……….
