Examity:
Your Adobe ID
Your profile name in the Adobe Credential Management System must exactly match your Government ID. Failure to have identical information or any mismatch will result in the proctor terminating the exam and will require you to reschedule your appointment in addition to paying an additional exam fee.
Cancelling and rescheduling
Cancellations and rescheduling are usually possible if initiated prior to 48 hours before the scheduled exam appointment. Candidates must modify this appointment themselves.
Neither Adobe Support or Examity can process rescheduling and cancellation requests. Cancellations under 48 hours are subject to a rescheduling fee in addition to the exam fee.
If you are unable to reschedule your exam, even though it is more than 48 hours prior to your exam, that may be because there is a new version of the exam. If your appointment was for the previous version of the exam, you will not be able to reschedule your exam appointment. We recommend that you keep your exam appointment if at all possible. If you cannot, you will need to cancel your exam and schedule a new appointment to take the new exam.
After your exam
Once you complete an exam, you receive a provisional pass or fail. The final score can take up to 72 hours to populate. You will find your result and score report under the History tab in the Adobe Credential Manager.
If you fail to pass an Adobe certification exam on your first attempt, you must wait at least 24 hours before retaking the exam. Failure to pass an exam on the second or any subsequent attempt requires a waiting period of 14 calendar days before retaking the exam. Each attempt will incur a separate exam fee.
