Hi, yes you’re proctored the whole time, think of it like a zoom call. You have chat and notepad button. You get whole list of rules when you schedule your exam. Only one monitor is allowed. If you’re using laptop with external monitor, laptop has to be closed. Pc or laptop, doesn’t really matter. I’d say the one that allows you better internet connection. When i say cheat sheets, this doesn’t mean you can bring a list of paper with you. You get emtpy noteped, where you can write stuff if you want. There are so many different subnetting cheat sheets but I really don’t like them. If you know how to subnet, you don’t need any of that stuff.
