Pearson Vue | Technical Issue: System and Technical Issues with Pearson Vue

Hello, I am reaching out to request immediate assistance regarding significant technical issues I encountered during my recent exam with Pearson VUE. Below is a detailed summary of the challenges faced:



System Setup Issues: The initial system test/setup ran fine the day prior to my exam, everything operated correctly without any issues. However, on the exam day, the system test failed and displayed errors forcing me to reschedule my first exam. On my second attempt, I encountered the similar issues. This time it was saying I had apps running the background even though I closed our of everything. Despite calling the support line multiple times, I was unable to reach anyone for assistance. I spent hours online right before the exam trying to troubleshoot the problem on my own, which was both stressful and anxiety-inducing especially right before an important exam.



Technical Problems During the Exam: The system frequently froze, preventing me from navigating backward or forward through the questions. On several occasions, the screen went blank, leaving me uncertain whether my answers were saved correctly.



Additionally, I noticed typos/errors on some of the exam questions, further contributing to a negative experience. Overall, this has been an incredibly frustrating experience. I have already opened a case and received a case number from Pearson Vue but I am requesting an expedited resolution. Please advise on the next steps.

Thank you

Hi S.Abdin,

Thank you so much for your response.

It was good to know that Pearson Vue provided you a voucher that you can use to schedule your exam. Regarding the error message that you received, it shows that you already reached the maximum number of exams for that specific month. Please know that in line with the
Register and Schedule an exam page, effective January 16, 2023, you can have a maximum of two Microsoft Certification exams scheduled at a time, either on the same day or on separate days through Pearson VUE. After you take (or cancel) one of these exams, you can register for another.

To ensure that I got you covered, please let me know if any additional help is needed.

Otherwise, if this solves your problem, please indicate
“Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after one business day. Please be advised that after the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages. If the resolution provided did not resolve the issue, please post a new question.
