Pre-Application Checklist

Before proceeding to the ACM Certification Exam Application, please review and complete the following:

1. Review the ACM Candidate Handbook. Be sure you have read the ACM Candidate Handbook before submitting your application.
2. Verify your name and identification. The first and last name entered on your exam application must exactly match the name on both your primary and secondary forms of identification. You will be required to present these two forms of identification at check-in for your exam.
3. Select your exam scheduling preference. Choose the correct scheduling option (Quarterly or Expedited) when completing your exam application. Once your application is submitted, your exam authorization start and end dates cannot be changed.
4. Understand the two-part exam. The ACM Certification Exam consists of two sections: Core and Simulation. You must schedule a separate appointment for each section. You will receive two separate scheduling confirmation emails from Pearson VUE—one for each exam section.

Please confirm that you have reviewed and/or completed the items above, understand the exam requirements, and are ready to proceed with the ACM Certification Exam Application. Further instruction will be sent via email once you have completed your application.
