ServiceNow Tokyo to Utah Exam Blackout Window Information

[Allen Andreas]

The upcoming ServiceNow Exam Blackout window (Tokyo to Utah) has been released

If you're unsure what that means here's a quick explanation:

ServiceNow has two major releases per year, one usually in March and another usually in September. Shortly after a new version is released there's a blackout window of 2 weeks (14 days). During that blackout period, no one is able to take any certification exams as the exams are being updated to the latest ServiceNow release. After the blackout period, you can resume taking certification exams.

For this cycle the schedule will look like this:

• Last date to test on the Tokyo version of exams: April 9, 2023
• Exam Maintenance Window begins: April 10, 2023
• Exam Maintenance Window ends: April 24, 2023
• First date to complete Utah version of exams: April 25, 2023

Hi @Mario Quinones  - The official announcement was released a few hours ago. A week ago, it was not official. Thanks!

@Community Alums @Abhishek Pande2  - It's recommended to use one profile on the forums for ease of use for yourself and others. With that said, you should be able to see any possible extension of your voucher within your Now Learning profile and looking at "My Vouchers".

They could add a notice in webassessor, I've lost a good 1 hour trying to change things in my profile bc I thought it was an error that it was not showing the exams...
