TEST AREAS FOR PAPER-BASED TESTING
When registering for the paper-based CBEST, indicate your test area choice. Your specific test site will be determined based on availability and appropriateness of facilities for test administration and will be within the area indicated but not necessarily within the actual city limits.
Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to your first-choice area.
Sites are subject to change in the event of scheduling conflicts. If it becomes necessary to change a test site, every attempt will be made to ensure that the new site is located in the same general area as the one you originally requested.
