Testing Center

Instructions

All test takers must check in with the front desk staff. Testing staff will ask for the following:

• A photo ID must be presented. Please know some test vendors may require more than one ID. We do not accept pictures of IDs.
• Once you have been registered for the exam, our staff will request that all items be placed into the lockers available at each Testing Center. You also have the option of leaving items in your vehicle. You will be asked to turn all electronic devices off while you are testing.
• After you have placed your items in a locker, the staff member will confirm that you do not have any prohibited items left on you. They will request that any pockets be turned inside out, if possible, or that you pat down those pockets or run your hands through them to show that there are no items in the pockets.
• If you are wearing long sleeves, you will be required to temporarily push up your sleeves so the staff can see that there are no prohibited items under the sleeves.
• If you are wearing pants, you will be required to raise your pant legs so the staff can see that there are no prohibited items under your pant legs.
• If you are wearing glasses, you will be asked to remove your glasses for inspection.
• If you are permitted any test aids, staff is required to examine the aid. Any prohibited item that is allowed in the Testing Center, after approval, must be examined.
• Once Testing Center staff has determined that there are no unauthorized or prohibited items available to you, they will use a battery-operated, hand-held metal detection device to locate any sources of metal. The wand is moved closely around the outline of the candidate’s body. Wanding is required for all test takers regardless of circumstance.
• If your exam permits any test aids, they will be provided to you. You will be assigned a computer in one of our testing rooms and a staff member will escort you there.
