Prepare

Step 1. Understand what’s on the exam

The exam guide contains a list of topics that may be assessed in the beta exam. Review the exam guide to determine if your knowledge aligns with the topics on the exam.

Step 2. Refresh your knowledge

If you have knowledge gaps, we recommend reading the training guide and exploring he WordPress VIP Learn courses. Platform‑specific WordPress VIP content not relevant to the exam is clearly flagged within the courses.

How to Take the Online Exam

Online Proctored exams may be taken at home or work, but require a quiet, distraction free area.

At Least One Day Before Your Exam

We recommend reading the following support pages:

• Online Testing Requirements
• Behaviours to Consider
• Dual Camera Requirements

Please visit the My Assessments tab in Webassessor and complete these three preparation steps at least one day before your scheduled exam time.

• Install the Secure Browser
• Enroll in Biometrics
• Take the readiness exam

The readiness exam guides candidates through a simulated Online Proctored exam launch.
It verifies that the Respondus Secure Browser is installed correctly, checks internet speed, confirms the camera and microphone are functioning, and ensures the exam experience is likely to run smoothly with minimal issues.

A Note about Keyboards

This exam is supported by Standard English keyboards only. If you are using a non-English keyboard please go to the Microsoft or Apple support pages for instructions on modifying your keyboard to ensure a successful exam launch.
