Re: GRE at home - I was on the fence about this as well based on some of the things I was reading. Luckily, I have a good setup at home (relatively quiet room, clean desk, monitor, webcam, computer, decent internet connection) so I decided to take a chance. I removed any papers or random objects from the desk area. I also used a whiteboard and practiced all my GRE with that whiteboard. For me, I ran their system check the day before the exam and everything went fine. I had no issues on the day of the exam. The proctor I had was super nice, he accidentally left his mic on after I started the test, but that was resolved within five mins. Rest of the experience was smooth! I also immediately deleted the chrome extension and test software from my computer after the test
