Yep, but here's my disclaimer.... I haven't taken any of these yet and I'm not certain of the protocol. I registered for my first one just this week:

Aparently you register and pay for the exam, then you have up to 1 year to actually go and test. They give you a separate username and password for Pearson VUE. This is the compoany they use for testing. They have a center locator at Pearson VUE: Computer-Based Testing Provider for Certification and Licensure Exams (click 'excelsior college' in the 'your program' list and then the 'locate a test center' link is on the right of the screen)

Can anyone else who's taken these please explain the process? I can find where I read it, but I know there's something about Pearson charging you money if u lose the password, and I have no idea if I need to call the test center, or just show up... I'm clueless and could use some help.

Thanx!
