Tried to search myself but didn't find something.
Are there any Master degrees with proctored exams available - instead of writing papers? Each course a proctored exam (multiple choice) and you be done?

Some, you just need to tell us what degree you're referring to, there are so many Masters out there, what subject area are you looking at...

No specific subject. Paused for a while now after my Umpi Bachelor degree (had another thread) and could start any sort of accredited Master. I hate paperwork but know i could speedrun through umpi again. Which Master wouldn't be of importance - just any accredited Masters but i am not after titulo propios either. That’s why i thought maybe i can avoid paperwork and just take proctored exams instead to skip most of the paperwork and grading times for paperwork.
Surely would want to save as much money as possible. I am familar with the UMPI / UoP pricing

ENEB could have been an option through the exam route, but I am unsure if any graduate program is exam-based, as most of them lay the foundations for research and a doctorate. It's the bridge between a bachelor's degree and a doctorate.

Would ENEB’s exam option been validated as U.S. master degree from e.g. Validential?

Yes, the ENEB exam option will be validated as a U.S. Master's degree from Validential.
There are prior evaluations from the Forum.

You can also check the wiki page, which lists other evaluations the degree can receive from different accrediting agencies. However, note that Validential is the only one that will fully validate it as a master's degree. For employment purposes, it should be fine.

Are you serious? Where would they get the grades from for a Masters with a single final exam? The linked attachments are dated 2022 with clear grade listings for all courses taken. Not that I would not want to use this, too on an upcoming mega discount but I can't really believe this would work...
If someone else could confirm or add other alternatives fitting the topic....

The grades, if you do the exam option, will be the grade you get overall as a passing grade for the exam option. Let's say your total is 7.5; all your classes will reflect a grade of 7.5. It is scored out of 10 and you need to score a five or higher I believe.

I've never seen a program such as this. In my experience - I have completed 2 master's degrees and attended 3 different universities for my grad degrees - tests are rare in grad programs. Grad school is about being able to conduct research and apply the various theories in that fieldto your research. I wrote far more in grad school than I did in undergrad and my 2 bachelor's degrees are from UMPI.

The University of London distance learning Master of Laws (LL.M.) is open to non-lawyers and appears to be assessed entirely by proctored exams. However, the exams are not multiple-choice. They're based on applying knowledge of the relevant law to write legal analyses, similar to essay sections of a bar exam. They're likely among the toughest exams in any distance learning program ever discussed here. (US LLMs are generally never open to non-lawyers last I looked.)
You could enter a US Juris Doctor with a bachelor's. Assessment in a JD is also generally based on exams more than on other instruments. But similarly, they're tough exams and are heavily based on analytic writing.
