Timothy, Could you please tell me for which boddy / organisation you work? How is we? I've taken some ms exams in the past and would love to hear about increased accessibility. My experience is that the microsoft exams are not accessible at all and that you need a reader and recorder / scribe to get you through. Best, Vincent.

Thanks for your explanation. Could you tell us a bit more about the things you have done with pearson to get things more accessible? Just curious since I want to take a ms exam in the near future. Thanks in advance, Vincent. On 3/30/2017 3:49 PM, Timothy Spaulding wrote:

Hi all, I recently took the CISSP certification and accessibility was very basic and barely there. The test was like working with a big word document that had check boxes. Within the test I was unable to mark questions to return to for later, the remedy I was given was to open a notepad file and put question numbers in it. This also made figuring out questions that I might not have answered very hard to find. I was happy to have the small amount accessibility that was provided. I almost forgot, trying to keep track of time on the test was a nightmare because I was instructed to give up my watch and it was hard to get the time off the computer. I will be happy to speak with anyone regarding my experience.

Hi Chris, Recently, I took the CISSP exam. My experience was the same as yours. I had to leave everything including my watch in a locker. The test was like working in a big word document that had textboxes, there was no way to mark a question or figure out if there were questions I did not answer. When I asked about marking questions I was told to open a notepad document and put the number in the document. I will be going back for another test soon but for now that is all we have. I did light them up on the survey, not that it will help much. Greg B.

I would like to hear anyone else's experience of taking IT cert exams too. For what it's worth, a while ago I tried to get Cisco CCNA via Pearson Vue. As a blind screen reader user, you can get double time and a reader. You can't take any technology, anything to write notes on independantly in. You can't go back to a question having skipped it. ThemMultiple part questions with diagrams and console output were the real sticking point. Regards Chris Turner On 30/03/2017 14:19, Greg B. wrote:
