Okay, everything went well in the end.
My exam was scheduled for 1pm, I arrived at 12:30 pm. The office was empty. I called Pearson VUE and no one was picking up the phone. Then I began this topic in an urgent plea for help.
I waited until 1:05 and just as I was leaving, the personnel was coming into the office. They apologized, at first I was furious but then I cut them some slack because they said they just opened up their office a few days ago.
They had to start up their systems, whilst that was happening they treated me to a
coffee in the local coffee shop.
I took the exam 40 mins later. The actual exam room was good. Air con and heating, spacious, good desk and chair.
As some of you know the pass rate was lowered by Oracle to 63%. I passed with 78%.
