Caution when taking the exam remotely

Great to hear that you passed. However, I have to share my experience for those of you preparing to take the test remotely via Pearson Vue:

I did attempt to take the PMP exam online via Pearson Vue. However, a zealous proctor prevented me from taking the exam because I moved away from the screen to get a sip of water. I contested but PMI upheld their verdict. So PMI reluctantly had to fail me on my first attempt.

Lesson: If you are taking any exam online via Pearson Vue, DON'T move away from the screen while you are taking the exam. It is considered a hard violation and immediate disqualification for them with no exceptions.
