Taking a certification exam: scheduling, proctoring, retakes & refunds

The strategy is decided; this is the mechanics. Exam policies differ by vendor — how you schedule, how much notice you need to reschedule without losing your fee, whether a failed attempt costs full price and how long you must wait, and what an online-proctored exam requires. Here is each vendor's, sourced and dated. Policies change; confirm current terms before you book.
