you haven't been to the testing center before, we recommend visiting in advance. Some testing centers are nice and professionally run. Others stick you in a small closet with lots of people talking around you. You don't want to be taking the test with people complaining about their broken laptops nearby!
At this time, you can reschedule the exam without penalty until up to 24 hours before. This means you can register for a convenient time slot well in advance, knowing that you can delay if you aren't ready by that time. Rescheduling is easy and can be done completely on the Pearson VUE website. This may change, so check the rules before paying.
Taking an Online Proctored Exam
Pearson VUE offers the ability to take the exam at your home or office via the OnVUE service. You schedule a specific date and time to take it remotely from your personal or work computer. This option is especially appealing for those who live far from a testing center or may have health concerns about taking the exam in person.
Before scheduling an online proctored exam, we strongly recommend you review the list of requirements on Pearson VUE's website:
www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/onvue
We encourage you to take the exam anywhere you are comfortable and feel safe. That said, taking an online proctored exam is a very different experience from taking an exam at a testing center. The following highlights some aspects of the online proctored exam process that we feel are important. Please check Pearson VUE's website for additional details, as these are subject to change:
Your laptop or desktop computer must meet certain minimal requirements, must include a camera/microphone, and must not have any additional monitors. Tablets and touchscreens are not permitted.
You must have a stable Internet connection (wired Ethernet recommended) and not be behind a corporate firewall or VPN.
You will be closely monitored live by a proctor during the entire exam, as well as being recorded. Moving out of view of the camera, looking at your cell phone, or using the restroom is strictly prohibited.
Your work area must be well lit and your desk clear of all material. Prior to starting the exam, the proctor will ask you to turn your camera around your area to ensure that no inappropriate materials are in reach or in view.
Writing material during the exam is provided in the form of an online digital whiteboard within the exam software.
You should take the test at a location where you can ensure privacy. No one else is permitted to be in the room or see your exam. If someone does enter inadvertently, you must tell them to leave immediately.
The exam software monitors eye and head movements. You may get a warning message while taking the exam if it appears you are looking away from the screen too much.
The choice between taking the exam at a testing center or at home is a personal one. Think carefully about which is best for your needs.
The Day of the Exam
The exam requires two forms of ID, including one that is government issued. See Pearson's list of acceptable IDs here:
www.pearsonvue.com/policies/1S.pdf
When taking the exam in person, try not to bring too much extra with you, as it will not be allowed into the exam room. While you are allowed to check your belongings, it is better to leave extra items at home or in the car.
You are not allowed to bring paper, your phone, and the like into the exam room with you. Some centers are stricter than others. At one center, even tissues were taken away from us! Most centers allow you to keep your ID and money. They watch you take the exam, though, so don't even think about writing notes on money.
As we mentioned earlier, the testing center will give you writing materials to use during the exam, either scratch paper or a whiteboard. If you aren't given these materials, remember to ask. These items are collected at the end of the exam.
Finding Out Your Score
As soon as you complete your exam, you find out if you passed. To get your actual score, you'll need to wait until you can check online. Many test-takers check their score from a mobile device as they are walking out of the test center.
CertView usually updates shortly after you finish your exam but can take up to an hour in some cases. In addition to your score, you'll also see the objectives for which you got a question wrong. Once you have passed the 1Z0-829 exam and fulfilled the required prerequisites, the OCP 17 title is granted within a few days.
