How do I schedule or reschedule my exam?
text
Start from your exam program home page. From there you can book a new appointment, or move and cancel one you've already made. Check your testing organization's deadlines first, because reschedule and cancellation windows vary by exam. If you can't find your program home page, check your confirmation email or your testing organization's website.

How do I log in or find my program home page?
text
Start with our convenient A-Z program list. From there, find your program and navigate to the home page. You can also use the sign-in link from your exam confirmation email. If you've lost access to your account, our login support links below can help you get back in.
Why do I see both Pearson VUE and Pearson Professional Assessments?
text
Pearson VUE recently changed its name to Pearson Professional Assessments, so you may see both names across your exam journey and in messages from your employer or credentialing body during the change. Either name means the same trusted service is running your exam.
What ID and documents do I need on exam day?
text
You'll need valid, government-issued photo identification, and the name on it must match the name on your exam registration exactly. Requirements vary by exam program, so check your confirmation email and your program home page before you travel to your testing site. Bring your confirmation details too, whether you test at a center or online.
Can I take my exam online instead of at a test center?
text
Sometimes, yes. Many exam programs allow online testing with OnVUE, so check your program home page to see if it's an option for your exam. If it is, be sure to run the technology check before you book and ensure you have an appropriate place to take the exam.
How do I request accommodations for my exam?
text
We want exam day to work for you. Accommodations requests are reviewed and approved prior to booking an exam appointment and typically can't be booked online. Use the accommodations link below to see how to begin, and start early, because approval can take time before you schedule.
Where can I get help if I'm stuck?
