Ah, I misread the article. I completely missed the line mentioning that the test was still inperson, and thought that the "bring your own device" thing implied remote testing. I'm glad it's still an in-person proctored exam, since then if people have issues with their own devices they can hopefully switch to a provided one

If anything has to be installed, I’d say it would still be wise to use a provided device. I didn’t notice anything about it in the article, though the mention of a tablet option makes me assume it’s web based.
