Question about Pearson Vue registration

Hi All,
I read some of the threads here and it sounds like there were some problems merging exam history with Pearson Vue.
I'm OCP certified and I had done my exams with Prometric. I registered for a web account on the Pearson Vue website and i'm not waiting for an email. During the registration process, there was a question asking if I was certified and I said yes but the prometric ID didn't get accepted.
I'm sure a lot of people has gone through that same process...After you got your email, were you able to see your exam history?
Thanks.

Thanks.The problems occur if you take examinations under 2 different Oracle Testing Ids.
The result of this is the Oracle Certification Database see the owners as 2 different entities and if exams from both are required for a certifcation that would not be delivered.
So it is kind of important (actually near vital) your Pearson VUE account has you Oracle Testing Id. matching the Prometric Id you used in previous tests.
Now with the answers you've given you may find it gets corrected 'automatically' .... but if the 2 are different it seems to give problems downstream with the merge.
I am a bit unclear what is meant by I am not waiting for an email. Does this means you registered with Pearson VUE twice?
Now while
Patience is a virtue,
virtue makes a saint,
Saints are a football team
And I'm sure Pompey aint
is not true as Pompey have avoided liquidation via administration patience is a virtue in this.
When someone who registers with Pearson VUE who has previously tested with Prometric one of 3 things happens (sometimes because of the form):
- They register saying they have not tested with Oracle Before:
---- They then get a New Oracle Testing Id and take exams and wonder why certifications do not occur as they expect .. and eventually they get a merge. Thankyou for increasing the exam costs.
- They register with Pearson VUE, say they've tested before, enter their old Prometric Id, wait for the email saying all is sorted and they are abl to register and take exams.
---- This is fairly seamless with a 3 or 4 day delay.
- The say they've tested before but do not enter an Oracle Testing Id.
---- My understanding is registration occurs and the're Oracle Testing Id. typically is updated with the correct old Pearson VUE automatically. But I cant be sure of this. I think some people say this has happened. If this happens they are find, if it doesn't they are stuffed.
The pearson VUE history will only ever show exams taken with Pearson VUE. It does not know about Certifications, only exams.
Oracle Certview system will show exams taken with Prometric and Pearson VUE. It is derived from the Oracle Certification Database which was initialized from Prometric history. Certview knows about exams and Certifications.
Access to Certview is obtained by your Oracle SSO being account linked with your Oracle Testing Id though a Certview Profile. Certview Profiles are updated via the Pearson VUE website updating the your account which has your oracle Testing Id.
These systems are not real time linked and their are delays while batch updates occur.
Having a single Oracle Testing Id. makes all this go well. Having 2 means chaos results.
WRT certview, if you are confused watch the video: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/11/0139.html]

Interval between Pearson VUE registration and CertView Registration

Refering to [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=316] and [https://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/ocp_interface.home] seem to indicate a lag of up to 7-10 days for information to migrate from Pearson VUE to be accessible for Certview.
As an implication for this I have counselled it may be correct to wait for up to 7/10 days after successful Pearson VUE registration for Oracle before attempting to register for Certview?
Is this delay in fact necessary or is it over-cautious ?

It will take approximately 7-10 days for data to be transferred from Pearson VUE to CertView. We hope to bring this down in the future, but currently, you should allow 7-10 days.
However, if a candidate has previously taken exams at Prometric, they can go ahead and authorize in CertView - even if they have just set up their Pearson VUE web account. However, since it will take 7-10 days for the Pearson VUE info to be reflected in CertView, they should authorize in CertView with their profile information from Prometric. If a candidate updates information at Pearson VUE, and does not authorize with CertView for 7 days, it is best to be cautious and go ahead and wait the 10 days. At this point, the information in CertView may be old or may be new, so better to wait and know that the info has been updated.
Alternatively, if a candidate has difficulty with CertView authorization and enters erroneous information 3 times, the account will be referred to our service team who will process the authorization manually and should have it sorted out in about 3 working days.

BI 7.0 Certification from Pearson Vue

Hello BW gurus,
I have learned BW3.5 and planning to appear for BI7.0 Certification Exam , I believe this will add weight to my Resume . Can any one explain your view about Pearson Vue . I heard that Certification exam is conducted by Pearson Vue .
1)Is this Computer based testing provider recently implemented or is it conducting BW Certification Exams from the past few years, is it necessary to appear only through Pearson Vue?
2) Is the exam from pearson vue more experience based and are based on scenarios rather than just bookish knowledge ?
3)I am also practicing some scenarios on my system, still is there any difficulty in appearing for BI7.0 from Pearson Vue ,
Your expert advise for the above questions will help me a lot in achieving my goal .
Thank you .

Dear sandya p
1) it is not necessary to go through only pearsonvue, you can also got hrough exams through
SIEMENS
SAP LABS
and also many centers
2)the certification of SAP is a mixture based on both scenairo based which can be applied for all projects and also experienced which hels to solve puzzle.
Generally more priority would be given to Scenarios
3)Go through the documentrs and books from SAP like
TBW10 Datawarehousing concepts
TBW20 Reporting
TBW42 Adavnced Data warehousing concepts (authorization,Broadcasting,etc)
TBW45 Integrated Palnning
Online courses on APD,XI

I got an email with subject:
Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor from oracle [emai id is not published|replies *AT* oracle-mail.com]
its saying
Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor
Beginning September 25, 2009, Oracle certification exams will be offered through a new test delivery vendor – Pearson VUE -- and will no longer be available through Prometric.
September 13 is the last day that candidates will be able to register with Prometric, although candidates may still take their exam at Prometric through September 25. Registrations for Oracle exams through Pearson VUE will begin on September 14, 2009. At that time, candidates should visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to find more information, register for an exam or locate a testing center in their area.
We will provide more information and a series of FAQs on the Oracle Certification Program website in the coming weeks. For additional questions or further assistance, please contact Oracle Certification at [email protected]
We are excited about this transition, and are confident that this change will improve service for Oracle Certification candidates.

Edited by: bigdelboy on 03-Sep-2009 01:46 : The CFM's answer below is of course correct. One simply has to wait until 14th september. However on positive side I myself could have booked an LPIC exam at one of 4 Testing Centres offering Pearson Vue in Kolkata so there should be little problem in getting a Oracle Certification Exam booked with Pearson Vue in Kolkata when they become available.

Merging Prometric and Pearson VUE data in CertView?

Background: I passed one exam (SQL) for my OCA under Prometric last month, signed up for Pearson VUE last week, and passed the second exam (Fundamentals I) just today through Pearson. I should thus qualify for OCA.
I attempted to sign up for CertView using my Pearson ID (OCxxxxxx), but it was not accepted. On my third try, I switched to my Prometric ID (PRxxxxxx), and signing up was successful. I can now see my SQL exam there, but my "Oracle Certification Program ID" is the Prometric code, not OCxxxxxx, and there is no sign of the Fundamentals test.
So my question is: will this magically resolve itself if I wait the 7-10 days promised for Pearson data to migrate over, or do I need to pester somebody to manually merge the two accounts together?
Cheers,
-j.

Huh? As I already said, I entered my Prometric code when signing up for Pearson. I suspect as mentioned before you did not use the form correctly .... but I have an extremely strong suspicion that the dialogue sequence makes this very easy to happen.
I would hope that Oracle/Pearson VUE take that on board and takes steps to correct and find ways of reducing this happen as it is costly to correct when it does.
If Pearson goes ahead and assigns me a new ID anyway, I have no choice but to use that ID, now do I?You have a choice of not scheduling an exam until that is resolved. That may be unacceptably painful choice for some people in some circumstances. But it is probably less pain than resolving the situation later.
And you telling me to be "grateful" about Oracle's grandmotherly kindness in permitting me to waste hours groveling to support and twiddle my fingers for weeks on end while they pass the buck before they fix their own mistakes is pretty darn rich.Duplicate Oracle Testing Id's (or Prometric Id's) as they used to be have been a problem for some time [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/09/]. There was a real push to get people to get this resolved before moving to Pearson VUE [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=312#1] (My Account - I discovered that I have duplicate Prometric records. How can I get these merged?). While your case has arisen accidenly there appears to be some indications from the OCP Team is appeared to them people were recklessly obtaining mulitple Testing Id's and then complaining about not receiving a certificate. In fact I am almost certain I recall a comment that exams taken under different Id's was the single biggest cause of missing certficates. I suspect many people were simply losing there original Prometric Registrations, and rather than recovering them simply taking creating a new registration and taking an exam on a new Id and then effectively having go through the merge process with support effort needed by Oracle and Prometric. One could understand considering if a charge would reduce this group. I suspect others unwittingly acquired a duplicate Prometric Id. by for instance an online exam.
With the recent issue of Certview it may arguably be easier for people to realise there is an issue here, especially if Oracle changed procedures urging people registering with Person VUe who have exisiting exams to check their Oracle Testing Id is consistent. However this would not have been possilbe for you.
Please remember the Certification forum Moderator, who also happens to be the Certification Programme Manager, may take your comments in a different light, though over the course of a few months I do believe they genuinely do try to help people (and yes I think they tear their hair out sometimes at their own systems!).

A few Questions about OCA DBA

Hello everyone, I currently passed the second test required for my OCA-DBA certification, 1Z0-052-ENU, sadly my 3 attempts on singing onto http://certview.oracle.com were invalid " and not sure why because all my Info was properly given ", My 4 questions, *#1* : is my Certification Kit gonna be delayed because I cant log into certview ? *#2*: why does perasonvue.com show my oracle tests as "taken" and not passed ? all of my other certifications show passed in the Status tab. just thought it was a little weird. *#3*: To Download My logo I have to wait for the kit correct ? *#4*: was I suppose to do something else but going into certview after passing my test or are all of the steps I tried to take properly in place?
Anyways I appreciate any replies concerned to this issue I currently have, and I wish everyone a wonderful day

This is quite normal. Automatic authentication by certview only happens if everything is perfect and the weather is fine. Otherwise Certview send goes off for a manual check.
My 4 questions, *#1* : is my Certification Kit gonna be delayed because I cant log into certview ?Your authentication should be sorted in 3 working days or so. It won't affect the delivery time of your certification kit ( 6 to 8 weeks or sometimes a little more) (Unless things work in more mysterious ways than I can imagine!)
*#2*: why does perasonvue.com show my oracle tests as "taken" and not passed ? all of my other certifications show passed in the Status tab. just thought it was a little weird.I assume here you are talking about the PearsonVue website.
I think 'taken' is fine, it may eventually go to passed. I recall this being brought up some time ago. I am too busy to check this out.
Pearson vue from an oracle viewpoint doesnt deal in the 'certification ' entities. It only deals with 'exams'.
*#3*: To Download My logo I have to wait for the kit correct ?From once you are authenticated on Certview, and the Certifcation database has received your passed, and the Certification rules process has deemed you to be certified and entered your certification ino the certifcation database and certview then you can download the logo from certview.
*#4*: was I suppose to do something else but going into certview after passing my test or are all of the steps I tried to take properly in place?certview registration is optional but ever so strongly recommended. It enables you to confirm quicky the certifcation is awarded.

Movement to Pearson VUE and certview from Prometric and Certmanager

This isnt so much a question as a comment ....
But I'm sometimes happy to award points.
(FYI I normally answers questions on {forum:id=459} ... and I might not revist here for a bit )
Oracle are (have?) moving to using the Pearson VUE testing vendor and using Certview rather than Cert manager as the certification reporting database:

Then, i decided to log a SR, SR Number=23552675 asking for help and information about my issue, but till now i did not receive any answer.
I do not know why my OCP data are not present on certview site.
In the next future, i would like also take the Oracle11g upgrade exam and i do not know which ID i will have to use, Sylvan ID, Pearson VUE ID???
Any usefull help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Simone MartucciYou need to take all exams under the same Oracle Testing Id, otherwise it is as if you tokk the exams under different people.
Ideally this would have been sortd when you registered at Peason.

A few questions about Patone colors

I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
1)
I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
Thanks.

You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point? If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type. UGH!
Good luck! :+)

2 Testing IDs from Pearson Vue

Hi all, I'm new to this community, though I've been searching the forum in case of doubts. I read a similar problem here but it was not of much help.
Here, I have a few problems regarding my certifications. Just FYI, I'm from INDIA and appeared for my examinations at NIIT (an authorised Vue testing centre). NIIT is a IT training institute.
1. I took my 1z0-007 (SQL) exam and 1z0-042 (Oracle 10g:Adminstaration Workshop I) from NIIT, Cannought Place and was given a testing ID: AB1234567 (not actual) and then due to a server problem at this centre since a few days I had to take the 1z0-043 (Oracle 10g:Adminstaration Workshop II) at a different NIIT centre (at South Extension) and was given another testing ID: XY0011223 (not actual). Now I've verified the exam on certview.oracle.com with the second testing ID and now I'm unable to see the details of the first two exams on pearsonvue.com. How can I verify my SQL and OCA exams on certview.oracle.com to link them with my pearsonvue account?
2. My full name is Sree Subhash K as i wanted it to be on my certificates. The name appears correctly on my SQL and OCA score reports and pearsonvue account. My OCP score Report has my name as Sree S K. Perhaps, this might be the reason for a different testing ID, and to add to my doubts, OCP(which is now on my pearsonvue account with full name) shows the name as Sree S K. Please advise how do i get the name rectified?
All the help will be greatly appreciated.

SreePearson VUE should be able to merge your Oracle Testing Id's.
See: http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/contact/
From what you've said with regards to the names you may prefer that AB1234567 is you're preferred choice for survival; however if this is the case you might have certview issues to resolve on survival.
( XY0011223 survival might help you have less certview issues, but their is more chance of you being stuck with a name issue).
Basically Pearson VUE will need to do the merge; if there certview registration problems certview support at oracle will hopefully help. But be aware you certview profile is managed from updates from your Pearson VUE profile.
I think its too late at night for me to (try) to explain more fully.

Some basic questions about rmi registry context "bind" and "lookup"

We have more processing to do than can be accomplished with a single computer. To solve the problem I've implemented a distributed computing solution using RMI. (The first time I saw RMI was about 2 weeks ago, so please bear with me!)
The implementation is a proof of concept not a fully fleshed out system. I have one "Workunit Distributor" computer and any number of "Data Processor" computers all on the same lan segment. "Workunit Distributor" and "Data Processor" computers are both RMI client and server to each other. The "Data Processor" computers are given the ip address and name of the "Data Distributor" on the commandline when they start. They communicate their willingness to receive and process a workunit to the ""Workunit Distributor" via a RMI call. Work units are sent to available "DataProcessors" and results are eventually returned to the "WorkunitDistributor" (minutes or hours later). The model program works quite well, and appears to be capable of doing the processing we need to get done.
But now that it seems viable, I've been asked to make it a little more scalable, flexible and self configuring. In particular, instead of one "Workunit Distributor", any number of "Workunit Distributors" should be allowed to show up or disappear from the lan at any time and the system should continue to function. I've worked out a good scheme for how this can be done, but I have a couple of questions about the RMI registry (registries?). I'm trying to keep from implementing some functionality that may already be available as a library or subsystem.
With my current model design, each computer binds to its own registry with a unique name. For instance:
CRDataProcessorImpl crdpi = new CRDataProcessorImpl(svr);
Context crDataProcessingContext = new InitialContext();
crDataProcessingContext.bind("rmi:"+hostName, crdpi);
Currently the "Data Processors" get the info they need for a Context lookup() of the one and only "Workunit Distributor" from the commandline. And the info the "Workunit Distributor" needs to do a Context lookup() of a "DataProcessor" is passed to it from each "DataProcessor" via a RMI call.
But in the newer (yet to be implemented) scheme where any and all "Workunit Distributors" show up and disappear whenever they feel like, the naming bootstrapping scheme described above won't work.
I can imagine a few ways of solving this problem. For instance, having "Workunit Distributors" multicast their contact information on the lan and have a worker thread on each "Data Processor" keep track of the naming information that was multicast. Another alternative (more organized, but more complex) might be to have a dedicated host with a "well known" address and port that "Workunit Distributors" and "Data Processors" could all go to, to register or look up at an application level. Sort of a "domain name service" for RMI. But both these schemes look like a lot of work to implement , debug and maintain.
The BEST thing would be if there was one plain vanilla RMI registry that was usable by all RMI enabled computers instead of having each computer have its own local name registry. In volume 2 of the Core Java2 book it says that every registry must be local. I'm only hoping there's been progress since the book was published and now a central rmi registry is available.
If you have any ideas about this I'd like to hear what you know.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Lenny Wintfeld
ps - I don't believe web services, as full featured as it is, is a useful alternative. I'm moving 100's (in the future possibly 1000's) of megabytes back an forth for processing.

The local bind/rebind/unbind restriction is still there and it will always be there.
I would look at
(a) RMI/IIOP, where you use COSNaming as a registry, which doesn't have that registriction, and which also has location-independent object identifiers

Pearson VUE -- unable to sit 1Z0-052 exam

Good day to everyone,
I am writing to ask for an advice regarding 1Z0-052 exam in Australia with Pearson VUE.
My experience that it is pretty much impossible due to technical issues in testing centres.
I have had the exam scheduled for 5th August 2010 in EXCOM Education (Brisbane, Australia), but the exam failed to start on the day.
After waiting for almost two weeks (Pearson VUE was "investigating incident") and nagging them a few times I've been able to have exam rescheduled to September date. Before the exam date I have been called again and informed that the testing centre is unable to run the exam. Rescheduled again, this time to Dimension Data centre in Brisbane. The nearest available spot happened to be on 25th November.
The exam failed to start again in the new centre. This time again I've had to call Pearson VUE several times over the past three weeks to get a response... that I have to reschedule the exam again, at a new testing centre.
The problem is -- there are no more testing centres in Brisbane. The closest centre offered is more than 700 km away, and there is no guarantee that an exam will actually run there this time.
I am not happy with this solution, as I have wasted two working days already with no results and I don't want to waste time and money again (it would cost me $500 just to get to the testing centre).
Now it is almost five months since I have been ready to pass the exam and I have not a slightest idea when it might possibly happen.
Could anyone tell me if s/he has sat an Oracle 11g Administration I exam (1Z0-052) anywhere in Australia?
I am looking for a testing centre that is actually capable to let me sit the exam, as Pearson just doesn't seem trustworthy anymore.
Or should I just get a refund and forget about Oracle certification?

Thanks again, Brandye.
All problems have been resolved by now.
I have been contacted by the Pearson VUE in the end of December.
They said that there is a new testing centre opening in Brisbane that would be able to deliver the exam.
I was also refunded the exam fee I have paid before and given a voucher code for a free retest.
I have successfully passed the test at the Training Choice testing centre and now happily await the certification kit.
I dare to say that before you interfering my perspectives did not look promising, so thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Nikita Nadezhdin

Current issues with Pearson VUE Exams delivery

I believe new Pearson VUE software has been issued and some testing stations have been unable to delivery Oracle Exam.
I have been today been to 2 different testing centers to take 1z0-047.
Neiither was able to deliver the exam.
Some issues may be the testing centers have not been unambiguously informed of the effects of new software.
It fact this is 3 times in a row I have now been to a Pearson VUE testing center to taken an exam currently under the stewardship of Oracle (the first wasn't at the time) and on no occsaion was int delivered!!!
If there is a widespread Pearson VUE issue out there I hope it gets sorted soonest.
Meanwhile there goes a wasted morning plus more wasted time if I choose to revise for and take actually take this exam.
just having a rant - bigdelboy.

I have received information from the second test center indicating they were unable to deliver the oracle exam as they did not have latest Pearson VUE software loaded (and this required an amount of time and could not be scheduled today).
In fairness to this test center i was booked with them at short notice following the failure of the first test center to deliver the exam and they proably did not have time to fully check the requirements. (In fact top dollar for accomodating me). In fact as I was limbering up outside before entering I did a risk assessment as to what could go wrong and there was some danger of a stray golf ball from the golf course crashing into the test center room. Anyway they have been as nice as possilble and even gave me a decent badwith their logo on (I debated about sticking it over my head and jumping into fareham creek with it on), but then remembered my car was low on petrol (gas), in fact running on vapourand needed to go back to North harbour do refuel.
The orginal test center may have had a firewall issue; however their notwork engineer was at North harbourand they could not sort, so their problem may be different. The college's new testing room seemed nice. It's the second time the've failed to deliver an exam to me, perhaps its a bit too close to Portsea island for me and jinxed. They will go on red alert if i go anywhere near them again! (They are actuall very friendly with good banter, but professional as well, and i like testing there as its a positive atmosphere for me).
Anyway i am rambling like a heifer ...
More seriously can Oracle please ensure Pearson VUE has procedures in place to ensure that when an Oracle exam is booked at a testing center the center has the correct software to do so; and to flag if there is risk of an issue
While it is probably easy for Pearson VUE to blame the test center it is actually Pearson's issue not to have automated systems in place to identify when this may be an issue. I may be being unfair here as perhas this was checked at start of day but not identified as the second test was booked hastily.

Certview, Pearson VUE and Sylvan Prometric Site and ID

Hi,
I got OCP certification in the past in Oracle8, Oracle9i and Oracle10g with Sylvan Prometric. One month ago I registered at certview Oracle site and Pearson VUE site, believing finding my history exams and certification Status. But it has not been so.
Then, i decided to log a SR, SR Number=23552675 asking for help and information about my issue, but till now i did not receive any answer.
I do not know why my OCP data are not present on certview site.
In the next future, i would like also take the Oracle11g upgrade exam and i do not know which ID i will have to use, Sylvan ID, Pearson VUE ID???
Any usefull help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Simone MartucciYou need to take all exams under the same Oracle Testing Id, otherwise it is as if you tokk the exams under different people.
Ideally this would have been sortd when you registered at Peason.

Certification from Pearsons VUE

Hi,
I passed exam C_TAW12_70 on 13th Jan 2011 from a Pearsons VUE center at Beaverton, Oregon. I just got a printed score sheet and nothing else.
Is it true that the certificate is sent directly to the home address by SAP? (This is what I was told by Pearsons VUE customer care).
Thanks!
Amiya

Hi Amiya,
Hope you will get Certificate on your address, you provided at the time of registration.
Thanks and Regards,
Faisal
