FAQ
-
What should I check about my name before the JN0-106 exam?
Juniper requires the legal name in CertMetrics and Pearson VUE to match your government-issued photo ID; resolve mismatches before the appointment.
-
Can I use multiple monitors for an OnVUE JN0-106 exam?
No. Pearson VUE's current OnVUE requirements allow one display only; disconnect and cover secondary displays before check-in.
-
What should I do if OnVUE freezes or disconnects during the JN0-106 exam?
Use in-exam chat when available. If the session disconnects, relaunch OnVUE from the downloads folder; persistent problems should be handled through Pearson VUE customer service for the Juniper program.
-
How do I request an accommodation for the JN0-106 exam?
Juniper directs candidates who need special assistance for written exams to submit a support ticket with the HPE Networking Education Services Helpdesk before the exam.
-
Can I keep paper or written notes on my desk during an OnVUE JN0-106 exam?
Pearson VUE's standard OnVUE desk rules require books, notes, paper, pens, and writing tools to be removed unless the exam program specifically provides an approved allowance.
