CompTIA increasing exam security

In a recent announcement by CompTIA, all test-takers around the world will be required to have their photo taken and signature recorded in order to be allowed to take the exams.

These changes will affect all Pearson VUE testing centers and will be taking effect from December 1, 2012 on-wards.

In the announcement they stated that "These security enhancements align with CompTIA's commitment to preserving the integrity of the testing process and protecting the value of CompTIA certifications. In addition, these changes will increase the validity of all CompTIA certifications held by individuals."
