CHANGING YOUR REGISTRATION FOR PAPER-BASED TESTING

If after registering you wish to modify your paper-based test registration, you may submit a request on the Internet or send your request to Evaluation Systems by U.S. mail or fax. Please note that it is not possible to change a registration for paper-based testing to a registration for computer-based testing. You may, however, withdraw from your paper-based test registration and then register for a computer-based test.

If you need to correct or update personal information (e.g., your mailing address), you may update your personal information through your account; see "About My Account" for details. To update your name or Social Security number, contact the CBEST program at (800) 262-5080.

The following table describes the types of registration changes available, the forms to submit (either on the Internet or by U.S. mail or fax), and the associated deadlines. Follow the instructions below to submit a registration modification request on the Internet or by U.S. mail or fax.

Requests to change from one test center to another in the same test area cannot be honored. Your request must be received by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the late registration deadline for the test date for which you are registered.
