I think the current on-line solution provided by LPI works very well for most 
people. The current provider do have some onboarding issues (which I have 
encountered in other unrelated certification exams), but once you get pass 
that, the user experience is comparable to that of the testing center.

Now to comment on the couple of other things:

- A browser-based proctoring tool, as opposed to a separate dedicated app, is 
probably a best option if the demand for taking the exam in Linux is there, 
since all it is required is a plugin for the browser. PSI uses that with the 
Linux Foundation exams. That said, the plugin may be browser specific, which 
will make some people unhappy if they want to use a specific browser for 
privacy reasons.

- Having recently taken the Red Hat remote exam, I don’t recommend that 
approach, since 1) The support and development effort is likely to be 
expensive, cost of which will have to be reflected in the exam price 2) the 
work for the test taker to get the environment ready is going to be a pain (you 
only need to look at the RH forums to see people running into issues just 
trying to boot the USB).
