Taking a Certification Exam
You will be charged $100 or more for each test you take. In
the U.S. and Canada, tests are administered by Sylvan Prometric - and they can be reached
at 1-800-755-3926 or 1-800-755-EXAM. If this number doesn't work also try 1-612-896-7000
or 1-612-820-5707. To schedule an exam call at least one day in advance although a week is
often better.
When calling to make your appointment you should have the
following information: -Your name, orgainization, and mailing address -Your Microsoft test
ID (In the US this is your Social Security Number most often, for other countries you may
use your taxpayer ID or simply make arrangements with the order taker). -The name and
number of the exam you wish to take. For the Networking Essentials exam the name is
"Networking Essentials" and the number is 70-058. -A method of payment must be
arranged. It is most convenient to use a credit card, otherwise payments by check, money
order, or purchase order must be received before a test can be scheduled.
When you show up try to be at least 15 minutes early. You
will need to bring and supply 2 forms of ID, and one must be a photo ID.
All exams are closed book. You will not be allowed to take
anything in with you to the testing area - but you will be furnished with a blank sheet of
paper and a pen or an erasable plastic sheet.
GOOD LUCK!!!
