Hello,
I said I’d report back after my son took his Microsoft Server 2012 r2 exam. I’m happy to report that the testing experience went relatively smoothly. Pearson hired a reader who arrived on time and was very professional. My son tells me that the reader did a very good job and was easy to work with (grammar apologies). The people at the testing facility were polite and helpful. The exam was a bear. Turns out that there were a few gaps in David’s knowledge so he did not pass this time. It is interesting to note that you can get this test with a “free” retake so that is the next order of business. Seems that retakes are a common occurrence with this exam. Hopefully it will take way less than the 6 months it took to schedule the exam the first time.
David tried to take this exam without purchasing the online testing packages. This isn’t a good strategy since the questions have a style that bears learning before taking the test. It’s like the SAT or CPA exam—you may know a lot about the subject but the way it is presented in the exam is challenging. Unfortunately the online materials are not accessible. I have become the designated accessibility tool for his studies.
