      Note

      For live proctored exams, scheduling your exam within 72 hours is considered “premium scheduling” and has an additional cost. If you are using an Acquia-provided voucher for your exam, you must schedule your exam at least 72 hours in the future to avoid this cost, which is not included in the voucher.

      ProctorU finds and displays the best sessions available.

      

   2. From the suggested sessions list, click Select next to your preferred time and date, and then click SCHEDULE to confirm your selection.

      

   3. On the Confirm Session page, review your exam details including time, date, and exam, and click Proceed to Cart.

      

   4. If you have a voucher or access code, enter it in the Have an access code field and click Apply. Otherwise, click Charge to Account/Proceed to Payment.

   5. Complete the form and click Charge to Account.

      

      You should receive a confirmation email from ProctorU with the details of your exam time and date, basic instructions and resources, and links to manage your reservation. You will receive reminder emails 10, 6, and 3 days before your scheduled exam appointment. For more information about the exam registration process, click this link.

Requesting special accommodations for test-taking¶

Acquia can provide special accommodations for test-taking for those who need them.

To request a specific accommodation after you create a ProctorU account, write an email with your full name and the required accommodation, and email it to: certification@acquia.com. Any requested accommodations are added to your user account, rather than to a specific exam, so you only need to request them once.

When you take an exam, your proctor will see any accommodations they need to provide for you.

Registering for other users¶

Due to the nature of certification exams, Acquia does not allow you to sign up for others seeking to take an exam. Every exam requires the user who will be taking the exam to sign up for their own account.
