Why do you force us to use Pearson / Can I have my money back

I got told I couldn't proceed with my exam because I didn't have a mirror available, where in the testing requirements does it say I need a mirror, ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A SERVICE. I have taken 9 other exams at this exact same desk, same Mac same everything.


I love working with Microsoft, I hate having to use Pearson, it is akin to a criminal enterprise propped up by lack of available alternatives. I am now out of the chance to take an exam, wasted a day off, and got told it's my fault for not being prepared and to go buy things to take an exam I already paid for. The best part, after 30 minutes on the phone to support, I get told they cannot do anything, and I need to email someone, if I could email, why would I have rang to sit behind there awful IVR for 20 minutes.


now to my question, can I have my test rebooked, and a proctor who will just let me take my test so I can get certified, because Pearson wont give me these things ???


TL:DR Pearson bad, give me alternatives.
