        Note
        
        For live proctored exams, scheduling your exam within 72 hours is considered “premium scheduling” and has an additional cost of $12 US. 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.

No-Show Policy

Acquia has a strict no-show policy for exams. If you miss your scheduled time for an exam, you forfeit that test attempt. Since proctors monitor scheduled exams, Acquia does not provide a refund for no-shows. You must register and pay for the exam again or use a new access code for the exam. Setting up your computer to take an online exam takes some time. Acquia recommends setting up and testing your computer at least 72 hours before the exam start time. This way, if you have a technical issue that prevents you from taking your exam, you will still be able to reschedule without paying a rescheduling fee.

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.
