Hi Jordan,
pen or paper are not allowed during the exam - however, a built-in whiteboard will be available during the exam. Eating is also prohibited - unless during the built-in break of 10 minutes. I'd recommend you to take a look at the Pearson VUE system requirements (
home.pearsonvue.com/pmi/onvue
), to check all the restrictions in place.
For additional details on feedbacks and experiences from PMP candidates, I suggest you to browse through the forum using the search engine.
Here is what I shared about my experience on the online proctored exam:

In the same discussion, you will also find some other posts that I found useful before taking the exam.
Additional info are often available in many posts in this forum as well.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your exam!
