Technical Issue during AB-900 Beta Exam - Pearson VUE Queue System Failure - Case #14052082
Hello Support Team,
I am writing to request assistance regarding a technical issue I experienced during my AB-900 Beta Exam appointment on January 2nd, 2026.
I had a voucher providing an 80% discount valid exclusively for that date. I successfully completed the check-in process on time, and my system passed all pre-exam requirements. However, I was placed in a waiting queue with 24 people ahead of me. After waiting for over 15 minutes, the system displayed a "Reschedule" button. When I clicked it, no dates were available, and I was unable to return to the exam session.
I immediately contacted Pearson VUE support via chat. Despite following their instructions to restart the check-in process, the system blocked my access, stating it was past the allowed start time.
I opened a formal case with Pearson VUE, and their final resolution (Case #14052082) was that I should reach out to Microsoft Support for further guidance and a "new authorization," as they claimed they could not provide a new voucher for this expired promotion.
I prepared extensively for this certification and I was unable to take it due to a failure in the Pearson VUE proctoring queue system. Since the original voucher has now expired, I kindly ask for a new voucher or authorization so I can reschedule and take the AB-900 exam at the discounted rate I previously paid for.
Exam: AB-900 Date: January 2nd, 2026 Pearson VUE Case Number: 14052082
Thank you for your time and assistance.

This situation is usually handled by the exam sponsor rather than the testing provider. Since the problem happened after check-in and was caused by the queue system, it should be considered a technical failure and not a missed appointment. Make sure to keep all case numbers, chat transcripts, and timestamps, and reference them clearly when following up. You should ask specifically for a new authorization or voucher based on a documented technical issue during the scheduled exam window. These cases are often resolved manually once all details are reviewed.
