I live in a pretty rural area far from major cities. I traveled 4.5 hours for both of my tests last year. For me, in-person was incredibly smooth and easy. I would do it again. It was very easy to stay focused and attentive. I appreciate working from home and the comfortability of it, but I scored higher on both of my real tests in a testing center than any test I ever took at home, including untimed. Good luck!
