To register for the exam, you will first need to create an online ETS account. Once this account is created, you can submit an application to take the exam.
During registration, you will be asked to select the test-taking format (remote or at a testing center), test location (if you are taking the test at a testing center), and test date. You will also need to pay the $130 exam fee.
You should arrive at the testing facility at least 15 minutes ahead of your scheduled appointment. Once you arrive, you will be asked to provide your admission ticket and two forms of valid identification, one of which must be a government-issued photo ID. If you arrive late or lack a form of ID, you will not be able to take the exam.
Personal items, such as your phone or bag, will not be allowed into the testing center, so it is best to leave such items at home or in your car.
Before the exam begins, you will be given a piece of scratch paper for notes.
To take the exam remotely, you must use a laptop or desktop computer (touchscreens and tablets are not allowed) with a speaker, microphone, and camera (internal or external).
Before exam day, you will need to download and install the ETS Secure Test Browser on your computer.
Your testing area must be clear of all personal items, and you will not be allowed to wear headphones. The proctor will ask you to move the camera around so that your testing area can be observed, and at the end of your exam, the proctor will watch as you erase any notes you made.
Once the proctor has approved your testing area, they will walk you through the testing process and begin your exam.
Your score for this exam is based on the number of questions you answer correctly (your raw score), which is then converted to a scaled score on a range of 100 to 200. The scaled score needed to pass is 156 in every US state and 152 in the US Virgin Islands.
You should receive an official score report about 5 weeks after testing.
