How to Proctor a Series 7 Exam Online
FINRA lets Series 7 candidates schedule through Prometric for either a test center or online remote-proctored delivery, so the direct answer is you pick "online delivery" at booking, complete a remote check-in, and sit the exam under live proctor monitoring from home.
What This Exam Requires
Candidates need a stable connection, a clear desk, and to complete Prometric's remote check-in; only extended time and limited-English-proficiency accommodations are supported online.
