It is actually much easier on the computer. I've taken it both ways. The paper version requires different strategies (what questions to answer first because you get more answers faster, what to go back to, etc.). The computer registers how you're doing as you go along. If you get answers right, it gives you a little harder questions, and if you get those right, it goes that way but you get more points for your answers. If you get some wrong, it defaults to easier questions so you can get more right but not get quite as much wieght for each answer. I scored higher by about 100 points on the computer test. You can also get through it a lot faster than the paper test.

Sylvan offers it here in Texas, and last time I checked it was offered during the last two weeks of each month. Much more reasonable that waiting for the few times the university offered it.
