Pearson VUE (PV) At Home Testing
After purchasing a Pearson VUE exam on the ASMC website, you should receive an email in 24-48 hours with with your Pearson VUE candidate ID and scheduling directions.
Before scheduling an OnVUE exam
• Visit the ASMC Online Proctoring page at pearsonvue.com/asmc/onvue and review information on exam policies and procedures, system requirements, and the System Test.
• It is very important to complete the required System Test on the same computer, in the same location, and at the same time as your exam appointment so the System Test can accurately read the computer’s connectivity in that location and time frame.
• Corporate, university, and military firewalls often cause issues while trying to take your exam. We strongly recommend taking your exam in a setting without an institutional firewall.

Special Arrangement Exam Scheduling
In rare instances, if it is not possible or not desirable to take the examination through Pearson VUE, contact ASMC at certification@asmconline.org to discuss alternatives.
ADA Testing Accommodations
ASMC complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and wants to ensure that no eligible individual is deprived of the opportunity to take the exam solely by reason of a disability as defined under the ADA (or equivalent), as long as the disability is not one which would render the individual incapable of performing the duties of a certified position.
Candidates must identify their need for special accommodations at least 5 weeks before the desired testing date by making a request in writing to certification@asmconline.org, to include a letter reporting a formally-diagnosed, ADA-recognized disability from a qualified professional who has provided evaluation or treatment to the applicant.
The report must document the following information in order to be considered:
- The specific diagnosis and date of diagnosis
- Specific and current findings that support the diagnosis (e.g., relevant medical history, tests administered, date of most current evaluation within the last 3 years, etc.)
- A description of the candidate’s substantial, day-to-day functional limitations resulting from the stated disability
- Specific recommendations for testing accommodations including a detailed explanation of why the accommodations are needed. If the accommodation includes extra time, indicate the amount of time requested (e.g., time and a half, double time, etc.).
