Pearson Vue | Technical Issue | Equipment Failure | Frozen Screen: Attended Test center to sit AZ-700 exam. Computer was really slow, when i clicked on mslearn it froze for 1 minute, unable to use.

I attended Eltham Test center to sit my az-700 exam. The computer was horrendously slow, the mouse button was sticky. PC kept freezing, when i clicked on mslearn the screen froze for about a minute with not responding i waited for a minute it eventually unfroze, i closed mslearn as i couldnt risk losing anymore time. Can you advise how I can reschedule my exam?

Did you raise with the proctor at the test center at the time? In my experience, they will move you to a different computer if you experience issues during the exam.

The test centre should be your first place you raise any issues and then you should escalate to Pearson Vue https://home.pearsonvue.com/microsoft/contact

For us to further assist you, kindly provide us with the requested account details through a private message for us to check options and locate your profile.

In the meantime, if you are an active ESI Learner (part of an organization affiliated with the Enterprise Skills Initiative), please contact the ESI support team directly. I've sent their contact details in a private message. Kindly use your work email address when creating a ticket with them. They typically respond within 3-5 business days.
