Our Services
Before

all you need for your test. If you have not yet registered, please
click here to register online. What to bring along
Computer-Based Testing
For computer-based testing, you must bring the following to the test center on the day of your test:
| Your admission ticket |
| Proper identification as described in “Identification Policy” below |
Paper-Based Testing
For paper-based testing, you must bring the following with you to the test site:
| Your admission ticket |
| Several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers; pencils will not be supplied at the test site |
| A blue- or black-ink ballpoint pen if you are taking an essay |
| Proper identification as described in “Identification Policy” below |
Identification Policy
Whether
you are taking a paper-based or computer-based test, you must bring two
valid and unexpired forms of identification that are printed in
English. The first identification must be government issued and must
have a clear photograph and your signature, such as
* driver’s license,
* state-issued identification card,
* United States military ID (with visible signature),
* passport.
The
second identification, which you may be asked to produce, must have
either a photo or a signature, such as a student ID. If you do not have
proper identification, you will not be permitted to test.
If
the name on your identification differs from the name in which you are
registered, you must bring official, legal documentation of the name
change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, certificate of
naturalization showing a new name, court order for a name change) as
verification.
Computer-Based Testing
Seating
availability for both computer-based and paper-based testing is limited
and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. During periods of
increased demand, your first-choice testing site, date, or time may not
be available. Examinees should register as early as possible to avoid
potential scheduling conflicts.
Cognitive Testing Center offered on computer at flexible times at our location throughout the year.
There
are no registration deadlines; however, you should plan to register as
early as possible before your desired test date, as seating is limited.
At the conclusion of your test, you will receive your unofficial score
results for the multiple-choice questions.
If
you took a test with a performance component, you will receive proof of
testing that documents your completion of the test. In addition, your
unofficial pass/fail status will be available immediately for most test
and the official score reports for most tests will be mailed
approximately 2 to 6 weeks after the test date.
Paper-Based Testing
The test dates and registration deadlines for paper-based testing can be obtained by calling our office directly. All
tests are offered on all scheduled test dates. In addition to Regular
Administrations, several Supplemental Administrations are offered at
selected time for an additional charge
At the Test Center
After being seated for your internet-based and computer-based test, you will complete a tutorial from most test developers before
taking the actual test. The tutorial demonstrates how to move from
question to question, how to mark and change answers, and how to go back
and review previously answered or skipped questions. If the test you
are taking includes a recorded component or a performance component, you
will be shown how these questions will be presented and how to record
your responses during the actual test.
Score Reporting
At
the conclusion of your test, you will receive your unofficial score
results for the multiple-choice questions. If you took a test with a
performance component, you will receive proof of testing that documents
your completion of the test.
During and After your Testing
The
test session is designed to allow sufficient time for sign-in,
distribution of materials, and communication of directions before
testing begins, and for completion of the test or subtest(s) by
examinees. Some examinees may finish testing well before the scheduled
ending time of the test session. However, you should be prepared to use
the entire test session. You will be allowed no more than the allotted
time to complete the test or subtest(s).
During
testing, you may take restroom breaks. Any time that you take for
restroom breaks is considered part of the available testing time. You
may not leave the testing facility or room in which you have been seated
for any purpose (other than to use the restroom, as permitted) until
you have been officially dismissed by our test administrator. During the
test administration, you may not communicate with other examinees or
any unauthorized persons in any way, either in person or by using any
communication device. For computer-based testing, examinees will be
monitored continuously and may also be videotape.
Stopping when time is called.
If you are doing paper and pencil testing, you
must stop immediately when time is called. You are not permitted to go
back later and add anything to the test. For multiple-choice questions,
you are not permitted to complete or change any answers after time has
been called. Violation of these directions is considered cheating and
may result in invalidation of test scores for tests taken during that
test administration. In addition, the incident will be reported to your
Client Organization
Dismissal From the Test
Once
you have been officially dismissed from a test session, you must leave
the testing facility. If you are taking another test or subtest during a
later session, return to the testing facility at the reporting time
indicated on your admission ticket. You may wish to bring something to
eat between test sessions; however, eating is not permitted in the
testing rooms.
When
you have completed testing or when the test session ends, your test
materials will be collected and you will be dismissed from the test
session.
