Frequently asked Questions (FAQ) about taking exams:

What do I take with me to the testing center?
The test center admission process requires the capture of a digital photo and digital signature from each candidate in addition to two types of personal identification. Both types of identification must have the candidate's signature and one must be a government-issued photo identification.

What do I receive that proves I took and passed the exam?
Upon exam completion, each candidate receives a score report. Passing scores are set by using statistical analysis and are subject to change. Candidates may choose to share their score reports with an employer or other third parties. If there is evidence of misconduct, scoring inaccuracies, or irregular responses, an exam score may be revised anytime after testing.

What if I have been certified but need to become recertifed?
Certification status for exams will expire after a period of time. Candidates with a valid certification must pass an exam designated for recertification to keep their status and reminders will be sent via your email address. Candidates who fail an exam must wait a period of five (5) calendar days, beginning the day after the failed attempt, before they may retest for the same exam. Once passed, a candidate must wait a minimum of 180 days before taking the same exam with an identical exam number.

How do I purchase additional Certification Exam vouchers at a discount?
We don't guarantee the authenticity of discount vouchers or promotional codes that are obtained from outside individuals or entities. It is recommended that you purchase vouchers through the primary testing center, either Pearson VUE or Prometric.

IT Certification exam fees can add up and represent a large portion of the total cost of obtaining a certification.

Take a look at the following two examples below:

  • MCSE - 7 tests @ $125 = $875
  • CompTIA A+ - 2 tests @ $145 = $290

Fortunately, you may be able to save up to 40% on your exam fees by purchasing exam vouchers. Please note that your particular discount will vary based on the certification you purchase. Vouchers are typically good for one year from date of purchase, and deeper discounts are often available if you purchase vouchers expiring within the month. To purchase exam vouchers at discounted rates, we recommend that you check the following websites for the best deals:
