I confess, I did not give this exam the respect I should have. I studied for a day and then sat it. I did not ACE it, but I passed. I know what to focus on prior to my first delivery (which I think is in October).

There was a discussion (started by me) a few weeks ago about an MCT who inadvertently violated exam policy by using a touch screen. I sat the Cloud+ exam yesterday and after waiting 42 minutes for the proctor, I decided to ask. According to him, if your hardware is a touch screen but you do not...

Stephen there is no need to reach out to you any further. With regards to my career I stay out of grey areas. You say it's not condoned, I am not interested in either giving or receiving. Thanks for your quick response! (I was actually asking completely theoretically... I have one voucher from...

I just thought of something that had never occurred to me, and before I even think about it, I was going ask here. If we receive a voucher for an exam that we cannot use, are we allowed to gift it to someone else in the CIN who did not receive it?

Thank you for letting me know! I was planning on asking the next time I sit an exam, but you saved me the trouble.

I think the main issue is that he USED the touch screen. The issue, as I recall, was that his mouse stopped working in the middle of his exam, so he used the touch screen. I am going to make a note to ask Pearson Vue if that is a thing... can we use a screen that has touch if we do not actually...

Of the 122 certification exams I have taken over the past 25 years, I have scored perfect precisely once... and while I do not remember which exam it was, I still have the score report. I suspect that score report may have a couple of drops of spilled whisky on it, as it was on the table at the...

The gentleman in question is a 20-year MCT... he's not a newbie. I agree with you though!

In the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) Forums recently a trainer too us through the saga of his breaking the exam rules and being blocked from testing for a period of time (possibly two years). While this specific case was about Microsoft exams, I feel it is important that we all know the...

I know I am late to the party, but I am registered :)

You can also create a Transcript Link which you can share.

My understanding is that in order to purchase the instructor material you must be affiliated with a CompTIA partner. If you are having issues you can then go through them. Good luck!

I am not sure how I could help you with this...? If you work with a CompTIA partner I would reach out to them, but I do not have $527 to donate to your cause. I have been fortunate in that most of my exams over the last few years have been paid for by training partners, but even when I was...
