Request for ESL - 30Mins

Question

How to ask for ESL as I am non-English native speaker and I want 30mins extra on my AI-102 exam which I have scheduled already ? Kindly help me.

Answer 1

Extra time for English as a second language (ESL) must be requested as an exam accommodation and must be approved before scheduling the exam. Because the AI-102 exam is already scheduled, the current appointment will need to be canceled or rescheduled after the accommodation is approved.

Use this process:

1. Submit an ESL accommodation request
   • Go to the English as a Second Language (ESL) request page: English as a Second Language form.
   • Complete the form to request additional time because the exam language is not the native language.
   • Attach a verification letter from an instructor or employer, or use the provided verification form: supervisor/manager/teacher verification form.
   • Wait for approval; processing can take up to 20 days.
2. Cancel the existing AI-102 appointment
   • Because accommodations must be in place before scheduling, cancel the current AI-102 exam appointment with Pearson VUE.
3. Reschedule after approval
   • Once Pearson VUE confirms the ESL accommodation, return to the AI-102 exam page and schedule a new exam appointment through Pearson VUE.
   • The approved ESL extra time (for example, 30 minutes) will be applied automatically according to the accommodation decision.

If any questions arise during the accommodation process, contact the Pearson VUE accommodations team using the contact details on the ESL/accommodations pages.
