How Do You Schedule the Security+ Exam?

To schedule the Security+ exam, follow these steps: First, create a CompTIA account at comptia.org and purchase a voucher for $404 USD (or use a voucher code from a third-party reseller). Next, go to Pearson VUE's website (pearsonvue.com/comptia) and create or link your account.

From Pearson VUE, choose either in-person testing at a local testing center or online proctored testing from home. For online testing, you need a webcam, microphone, stable internet, and a private room with a clean desk. Testing centers offer appointments most weekdays and some Saturdays.

Schedule your exam 2-4 weeks after you consistently score 85%+ on practice tests. This gives you a concrete deadline to study toward without rushing. If you need to reschedule, Pearson VUE allows changes up to 24 hours before your appointment at no extra charge. Arrive 15 minutes early for in-person testing, or log in 30 minutes early for online proctoring.
