Why did Pearson VUE stop the delivery of my OnVUE exam?

Modified on Tue, 27 Aug at 8:30 AM

To maintain high security throughout online exam delivery, protect exam content, and confirm you are following online-testing rules, Pearson VUE will monitor you at all times. Audio and video may be recorded, and an exam monitor/proctor may contact you or even stop your exam if they witness any questionable behavior.


To avoid having your exam session revoked, review some of the critical rules:

  • You must stay in your designated testing space, in view of your webcam throughout your exam
  • You cannot get up and walk around or leave your testing environment
  • Unless requested by a greeter or proctor, do not move your webcam once your exam has started
  • No one can enter or pass through your testing environment
  • You may not communicate with anyone other than your proctor
  • Do not read the test questions aloud; mumbling or speaking out loud will lead to a warning
  • Keep your mobile phone in the room where you are testing, but out of arm’s reach
  • Headphones and headsets (wired or Bluetooth) are not allowed


Testing online has unique requirements. Here is a guide to testing online: https://home.pearsonvue.com/Test-takers/onvue/guide.
Please review the OnVUE testing policies and procedures: https://home.pearsonvue.com/fortinet/onvue. 


If you have any questions or concerns regarding your exam delivery, your first step is to contact Pearson VUE customer service for test takers. See https://www.pearsonvue.com/us/en/test-takers/customer-service.html. If you escalate your case to the Fortinet Training Institute Helpdesk, please be prepared to provide a Pearson VUE customer service case number.
