Certiport Launches New Testing Software for MOS Exams


2/15/2006 -- If you're having problems finding your favorite Office exam, you may soon have an easier time of it.

Certiport, the company that runs the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification program for Microsoft, announced today that it has launched new exam software that will make it "four times faster" for testing centers to install the MOS Exams. By requiring less resources, the new software, known as iQsystem 6.0, should make it easier for testing centers to load MOS exams and make the installtion process quicker when a candidate is the first to take their chosen exam at a particular testing center.

According to the company, the hands-on exams that the MOS program is known for will also perform better with the upgrade.

The English version of the software is currently being distributed to Certiport testing centers worldwide. The rollout of all language versions should be completed by June 30, the company said.

To find a Certiport testing center near you, go here.  -Becky Nagel

The testing center I took my other MOS exams is having a difficult time loading in it into their systems, is anyone else having a difficult time getting the Outlook 2003 exam to work?

2/16/06: Joseph Villapaz says: You're right. The exam itself isn't a problem but there has to be some patches applied. On the day of the exam, I kept on getting kicked out of the initial sign in screen (before the exam officially begins). I had to call in the proctor and she in turn called Certiport who instructed her to download and install some patches to the testing engine. Once all this was done, everything went flawlessly. The whole process added an additional 45minutes to my extended lunch hour.
2/17/06: Anonymous says: I am still looking for a place that offers the Outlook 2003 exam in NYC. The places I called so far are not running it. I also don't have the strength to try to take the Access 2003 exam again.

6/16/06: Mark from Ohio says: I just took the PowerPoint 2003 MOS exam and the testing center is still using the old version of the testing software. I think that the testing center will be required to upgrade to Version 6.0 after June 30, 2006.
