If you’re reading this, then it’s likely that you are trying to take the Google Adwords Certification Exam and have found that somewhere between registering & before starting the exam, you get the ominous message “Secure Validation Error”. You may also find that you are given the option to select fields (for example, what job functions you serve) but are unable to click inside the fields to make your selection.
Don’t panic! It appears to be a browser issue. Try the following:
1. Close out your browser and start it again.
2. If that doesn’t work, try using a different browser.
It’s that simple.
