Important:

To schedule your free exam, you must register with Cisco’s test delivery partner, Pearson VUE. All exam registrations must be completed before the conference. After June 27, 2009, candidates who still wish to take an exam at Cisco Live 2009 can register onsite at a 50% discounted rate, depending on available space. You will not be able to register for a free exam onsite.

However, if you need to move a previously scheduled free exam to a different appointment time during the conference, you may do so at no charge. The free and discounted exams can only be taken at Cisco Live and cannot be taken off site. No shows for previously scheduled exams will result in a $35 fee. If you can not make it, please stop by the testing center to cancel or change your appointment to avoid that fee.
