In-Depth Information
To book your exam, you simply go to www.pearsonvue.com/comptia and follow the online
procedure. The website enables you to locate your nearest testing center, book the test, and
pay for it. To complete the procedure, you'll need a Pearson VUE account (which can be set
up on the website) and an electronic payment method. The exam costs around $200 (or the
local equivalent in whatever country you are in).
After your exam is booked, you need to sort out a few other important things:
Plan your route to the testing center—you do not want to arrive late!
■■ Be sure to bring the required identification. You cannot take the exam without pro-
viding identification documentation that has a photograph of you and your current
valid signature.
Once you know where the testing center is and you have the required identification,
you're ready for your exam.
On the day of your exam, do yourself a favor and arrive at the testing center early.
The last thing you need is the stress of running late. Be prepared to surrender all personal
electronic devices; they will be stored in a secure locker while you take the exam.
After signing in at the testing center, you'll be taken to a secure room, where you'll be
logged in to a computer and asked to complete a short computer-based survey. The time
required to take this survey does not count toward the time you have to take the exam,
so you don't need to rush through the survey. The answers you give in the survey do not
influence your exam marks.
After you've completed the survey, it's time to take the exam. As mentioned earlier, the
exam consists of multiple-choice questions. If you're unsure of the answer to a question, you
can mark it for review, and after you've answered all other questions, the system will allow
you to go back to questions that you've marked. Do your best to answer all questions! There
is no advantage in leaving a question unanswered. An unanswered question is automatically
considered incorrect. If you guess at the answer, you stand a chance of guessing right. So
answer all questions!
After you've answered all questions and clicked the Complete button, you'll be shown
your score and find out whether you've passed the exam. Hopefully you've passed and the
system will automatically print out your score card. You'll then receive an email outlining
your results and giving you the option of having a certificate mailed to you. In the event
that you do not pass the exam, you are able to retake it at any time that's convenient to you
and your chosen testing center—there is no requirement for a waiting period between your
first and second attempt at the exam. However, if you do not pass on your second attempt,
you will need to wait a minimum of 14 days before any further retakes.
