Help! Should I retake section 4 online or at a testing center?

[Kathryn Strachan]

I am writing Section 4 this summer after failing my first attempt in the spring :( 

I am considering writing the exam in person this time as I think that having a hand held whiteboard and calculator would be beneficial to the way I work through grading problems.

Has anyone written the exam online and failed and then written it in person and passed? Did writing the exam in person make the difference between pass and fail?

I will have to drive about 1.5 hours to get to the closest test center, which is the main reason I have been avoiding it.

Thanks in advance!
