The Day of the Test |

REPORTING
FOR PAPER-BASED TESTING
The test session reporting time for all paper-based
test sites in California and Oregon is 8:00 a.m.; the
test session will end between 12:45 p.m. and 1:15 p.m.
Test session reporting times may vary for test sites
outside California and Oregon.
Your admission ticket lists your test site, test date,
and reporting time. Please report to the test site no
later than the scheduled reporting time. If you have
any questions or need information on the day of the
test, you may call (800) 262-5080 or (916) 928-4001
from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pacific time.
On the day of the test, you may wish to dress comfortably
in layers. This will allow you to adjust for the temperature
at the test site, which may vary and may not be under
the control of the test administrators. Please wear
soft-soled shoes to help maintain a quiet testing environment.
Water bottles may be allowed in the testing room, provided
they are clear, do not have a label, have a secure lid,
and are stored under your seat, not on your desk, during
testing. See “What to
Bring to the Test Site” and “Test
Site Rules” for more information.
Enhanced security measures, including additional security screenings,
may be required by test site facilities. If an additional screening is
conducted, only screened persons will be admitted to the test site. If you
do not proceed through the security screening, you will not be allowed to
test and you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind.
Late arrival policy.
It is essential that you report for the test session
no later than the time indicated on your admission ticket.
If you arrive late to the test session, you may not
be admitted. For paper-based testing, if you are admitted late, you will not
be given any additional time beyond the scheduled ending
time for the test session, and you will be required
to sign a statement acknowledging this.
If you arrive late and are not admitted, you will be
considered absent and will not receive a refund or credit
of any kind. You will need to register and pay again
to test at a future administration.
Absentee policy.
If you are absent, you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind. You will need to register and pay again to
test at a future administration.
Test cancellation policy.
In the event that it becomes necessary to cancel a paper-based test
administration at a test site or sites due to severe
weather conditions or a natural disaster (e.g., flood,
fire), the cancellation announcement will be posted
on the CBEST Web site. In addition,
the cancellation announcement will be available as a
recorded telephone message at (800) 262-5080 or (916) 928-4001.
Unless a test administration at a given test site is
officially canceled, the test administration will be
conducted as scheduled. If you miss a test administration
that has not been officially canceled, you will be considered
absent and will not receive a refund or credit of any
kind.
