The COVID-19 pandemic led to a proliferation of remote-proctored (or "at-home") assessments. The lack of standardized setting, device, or in-person proctor during at-home testing makes it markedly distinct from testing at a test center. Comparability studies of at-home and test center scores are important in understanding whether these distinctions impact test scores. This study found no significant differences in at-home versus test center test scores on a large-scale admissions test using either a randomized controlled trial or an observational study after adjusting for differences in sample composition along baseline characteristics.
