The pandemic has created an opportunity to explore different testing settings. However, transitioning to remote testing raises concerns about cheating. The possibility of cheating raises concern about the integrity of test psychometrics. In 2020, the orthopaedic in-training examination (OITE) was offered using two administration models, with programs having the option to provide physically distanced, in-person, proctored testing or remote testing and online proctoring. We aimed to determine whether scores were higher when the OITE was administered and proctored remotely.
