CompTIA A+ Exam in 2 Days but My Grandpa Passed Away – What Should I Do?

[thomasolson]

I have been studying for my CompTIA A+ exam for months. My test is in two days. My grandfather, who I was very close to, passed away unexpectedly last night. I am helping my family with arrangements and am in no state to study or take a difficult exam. I cannot reschedule without losing my fee and waiting weeks. Has anyone faced a sudden family loss right before a certification test? I am now looking into whether I can find a secure and professional service to take my CompTIA test for me. How do you find a trustworthy expert for this kind of urgent and sensitive situation?

In this situation, it’s best to contact CompTIA or Pearson VUE support and explain the emergency. Certification providers sometimes allow exception rescheduling for serious situations like bereavement. Having someone else take the exam for you is against exam policies and can lead to disqualification.
