CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003)

ID

  • Two original, unexpired IDs: a primary government-issued one with a recent photo, and a secondary one with at least your name and signature, or name and photo. No photocopies.
  • The first and last name you registered with must match both IDs exactly.
  • IDs must be issued by the country you test in. Without a qualifying primary ID from that country, bring a passport plus a secondary ID.
  • Testing online (OnVUE): U.S. military IDs are not accepted under any circumstance.

Check-in

  • Online: check-in opens 30 minutes before your appointment. More than 15 minutes late and you will not be allowed to test.
  • Online: run the OnVUE system test on the same device and network you will use. Restart the computer before you start.
  • Test center: you will be photographed before testing; no photo, no exam.

What is allowed

  • Online: a clear desk. Only the exam computer. No books, notes, scrap paper, pens, food, drinks, or a second display. No touch screens, no virtual machines.
  • Online: a private, quiet, well-lit room, not a public space. Face and ears in full view: no hats, hoods, scarves, headphones, or earbuds.
  • Online: nobody may enter the room, pets included. An interruption revokes the exam.
  • Online: the session is recorded by webcam and microphone; if you do not want to be recorded, test at a Pearson VUE center.

Breaks

  • CompTIA exams run in a single session with no scheduled breaks, at a test center or online.
  • Online: no breaks at all, except with a prior-approved accommodation and only at a test center. Use the restroom before check-in.
  • If you need an accommodation, arrange it with Pearson VUE before your exam date.
