INTERNET REGISTRATION FOR COMPUTER-BASED TESTING

• Return to Internet Registration page

Registration for CBEST CBT is available on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You should try to register as early as possible before your desired test date. Due to the amount of time required to process a CBEST CBT registration, you may not be able to schedule a test appointment to test if you register within three calendar days of the day on which you plan to take the test. Test appointments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and seating is limited.

Before you register. Because of laws protecting confidentiality and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test. Before you register, be sure to have available your e-mail address, social security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). You may wish to review the "Background Questions" to prepare answers to the questions you will be asked during registration.

You should also know which section(s) you plan to register for (see "Test Selection"). You may not change the sections you are taking after registering; you must first withdraw your original registration and then submit a new registration. See "Changing Your Registration" for more information.

If you wish to request alternative testing arrangements, you must call Evaluation Systems at (800) 262-5080 or (916) 928-4001 before submitting a registration to discuss your request for alternative testing arrangements.

Please note the following restrictions:

• You may test only once per testing window.
• You must wait 120 days before retaking a section on computer.
• Once you have registered, you must wait until after you have tested to register again for computer-based testing.

Payment. Payment must be made at the time of registration using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without the VISA or MasterCard logos cannot be accepted. Additional service fees apply for computer-based registration. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for complete information about registration and service fees and payment policies.

How to register. Registration for CBEST CBT is a two-part process with a registration step and a scheduling step.

1. Registering for the test. To register, select "Register Now" on the CBEST Web site and follow the instructions provided. Registration begins on this Web site, where you will be asked to provide your personal and payment information. Be sure to have available your e-mail address, social security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). Enter your name as it appears on your government-issued identification that you plan to use for admittance to the test center.

   Acknowledgment of registration and Authorization to Test. After you have completed the registration process, Evaluation Systems will send you an e-mail acknowledging that you have submitted a registration. Within one business day, Evaluation Systems will e-mail you an Authorization to Test. This Authorization to Test allows you to schedule a test appointment for the section(s) for which you registered. Be sure to check the information on your Authorization to Test when you receive it. Notify Evaluation Systems immediately if any testing information needs to be corrected.

   Retain a copy of your Authorization to Test for your records. It contains your examinee ID number, which is required to schedule your test appointment and access your unofficial scores on the Internet.

2. Scheduling your test. After receiving your Authorization to Test from Evaluation Systems, you must visit the Pearson VUE Web site to select your test date, testing time, and test center. Please note that first-time CBT examinees must create a Pearson VUE Web account before using the Web site to schedule a test appointment and that account setup may require up to 24 hours to process.

   Confirmation of scheduled test. After you schedule your test appointment, Pearson VUE will send you an e-mail confirming your test appointment and listing your test date, your testing time, and the address and phone number of the test center, as well as directions to the test center.
