+30mins in AWS Exam

I recently attended the AWS exam and I got 30mins extra for my exam and it’s really helped me to review all my flagged questions. And I like to share this so it will be helpful to all.

Prerequisites

ESL +30 is available to non-native English speakers when taking an exam in English. ESL +30 only needs to be requested once and will apply to all future exam registrations at all test delivery vendors.

Step by Step Process

Step 1: Log in to your AWS Certification account

Step 2: On the Home page, press the button marked “Request Exam Accommodations”.

Step 3: On the Upcoming Exams screen, click the “Request Accommodation” button

Step 4: Select ESL +30 Minutes from the accommodation drop-down menu and click Create.

Step 5: Wait for status Approved, it will be approved automatically. For me, it took only less than 10seconds.

Although you will sign up for the standard-length exam, PSI has your hosting set up in your system and will receive the 30-minute extension when it is submitted for your exam. This accommodation will also be saved in your AWS Certification Account, so you will not have to re-apply for this accommodation for future exam entries.

This extra 30mins will be applied to all future exams for both online and test center exams and all-level certifications exams without any additional request.
