In reply to Marina. @Marina: Amazon sells a Kindle version of the Programmer II book.. The practice tests book hasn't printed yet. (It's at the printer now.) My understanding is that the e-book becomes available once it prints.

Hello Jeanne/Scott,
Thank you for your books, they are really helpful in preparation.
Is there ebook version of your books that I can buy? I know there is one for ProgrammerI. I am looking for

and

In reply to Christine. @Christine: I think I'm seeing this after your exam, but I have not taken any exams from home and I will not be doing so. (Aside from the logistics of being in a studio, I also don't stare at the screen constantly. At a testing center, that's fine. At home, not so much.) Testing centers in my neighborhood are open again.

Did you happen to take the exam even when you have a studio apartment? I have the same scenario. My exam schedule is in 4 hours. Hope you can answer my question.

This thread says:
* The whiteboard is like MS Paint (hard to use)
* No bathroom break
* Got called out for covering mouth/mumbling
* Uses Flash so hard to get working

And I know someone else who got called out repeatedly for looking away from the screen. I look away from the screen a lot. (Hard to stare at the screen for long without getting a headache/dizzy).

Hi,
Is there a link where I can see which oracle certification exams are available via online proctoring?

I’m interested in the Java SE8 course (1Z0-808)

In reply to Armando.

@Armando I think so. A closet door doesn’t count. So your bedroom has one door (which is good; that makes it a room). I live in a studio where everything is one room. My situation is more problematic. You should be able to move all study materials to the living room to show the online proctor your bedroom doesn’t have books/notes.

I recommend confirming with PearsonVUE that they are still able to offer online tests. (In case the proctor has to go somewhere.) That way you know before sitting the test!
