Currency selection while booking exam from different country

Hello Latha,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are inquiring about which option you would choose in currency selection.

It is most recommended to take your exam in your home country specially if your IDs and other proof of documentations are showing your home address. The reason is that online exams are being handled by the same testing center assigned in the country shown in your certification profile.

Taking the exam in a different country while your account and online proctor is for your home country may cause bandwidth and other connection issues, especially if the other country is too far from your home country. In other words, taking an online exam in a different country is possible, so does the risk of potential issues.

Also, the system automatically detects your location, and the prices of the exam are different, and it will depend on the country of your testing center.

The only time we can recommend taking an exam in a different country is if you also have proof of identification that shows the address of the other country. In addition, you also must update your certification profile reflecting the address of the other country.

Please visit the About online exams with Pearson VUE for more details.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

But in my current situation, I have to take a test within 3 weeks.

I don't have any Government Id with the other country. (Where am in).

In this case, I think I can proceed with my home country (which includes risk factor i.e bandwidth issue).

Please confirm?

Kind Regards,

Latha.

Hello Latha,

Thank you for your response and I would like to apologize for the delay in responding to your reply.

In that case, yes. Since you don't have an issued Government ID in that country, the best option will be scheduling the exam with your home country.

Please let me know if you need anything else or any clarifications.
