Thanks for the update, and glad you passed the exam. Chris On Wed, Jan 07, 2026 at 01:32:24PM +0000, Chris Turner via Blind-sysadmins wrote:
HI all.
I said I'd get back regarding this.
I've just passed the Comptia Security+ exam online with Pearson VUE. Woo!
I won't talk about the questions, obviously. However, a couple of observations on the test process from a Windows screenreader user PoV.
Firstly, once you have accomidations granted, you have to do a system test. This checks network bandwidth, camera, microphone, sound and some security aspects. You may need to disable or uninstall Dropbox for example.
I did need help with Aira over a remote call, just to check I was visible in the camera view. This was several weeks ago when accomodations were granted.
On the day itself, when you check in to the exam, you do another system test, which is now logged against your ID. I did not use Aira at this time.
System passed. You then wait for the proctor to do what ever it is they need to check there end. Make sure you have valid photo ID in case you need to show it.
There was quite a delay between checking in and the exam starting. I was getting a bit worried but message on screen says it can start after your appointment time. Eventually the proctor spoke to me and the screen updated so I could proceed.
The exam itself was almost entirely accessible. The one bit that wasn't, some text, a fragment of a log, was not read out. I had to used JAWS OCR to access this text. I did not experience any questions with diagrams but this could be possible I suppose too.
The rest of it was fine, with standard form controls and no gotyas.
Anyway would use again. I'm interested in looking at perhaps trying the penitration cert or Linux cert.
Regards
Chris
