I did mine remotely for that reason (and rural distances regardless). Local radio club beforehand encouraged where I could take the test nearby (doesn't regularly do testing right here), and was entirely welcoming after I showed up the next time already with a call sign rather than waiting any longer.

Like any zoom-proctored test these days, plan on a clean room and to close out everything running on your computer or phone.

I did in-person for technician, and online for my general.

In-person exams are a good way to support your local clubs, but it's hard to beat the convenience factor when online exams happen almost every day.

I'm part of a remote-testing team (WM7X.net), so you can consider me biased. I took all three of my exams remotely since there were no exams near me on a reasonable time frame. It was a super-smooth experience and I signed up as an examiner to help other folks take their exams in a more convenient way.

In-person exams are a great way to meet others in the hobby, so that is definitely a consideration. But, if you want to get it done soon, WM7X can get you hooked up on-demand. Others can too.
