What to Bring to the Testing CenterTo complete the necessary sign-in procedures, it is recommended that you arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time. Please be prepared to show one (1) form of personal ID. The ID must be current (not expired) and include your signature and photo. For security reasons, some test centers may also require you to provide a fingerprint and/or take your digital photo upon arrival. You will not be allowed to take any personal items with you into the testing room. This includes all purses, bags, books, notes, PDAs, cell phones, pagers, watches, wallets, hats, gloves and coats. Some testing centers have lockers available to store your personal items during your test. For the GR2/T3 exam, you will be allowed to bring your TI BAII calculator into the testing room. Basic calculators and scratch paper will be available at the testing center for any exam.

What do I need to bring to the CBT session? You will not be allowed to take any personal items with you into the testing room. This includes all purses, bags, books, notes, PDAs, cell phones, pagers, watches, wallets, hats, gloves and coats. Some testing locations offer lockers to secure your personal items during the test, or a staff member may hold these items at a desk. You are encouraged to leave your personal items in your car. How will I be sure that the exam I take is the right one? How do I know how much time my exam will take? What if I need more than 120 days to schedule my exam? What if I need to reschedule my exam? If you do not reschedule or offer advance notice and you are unable to make your appointment, you’ll need to call WorldatWork to re-open your eligibility file. WorldatWork will charge a $200 USD (Premier member)/$270 USD (nonmember) fee at the time you re-open this exam. How can I get more comfortable with CBT before taking an exam? What do the immediate preliminary results mean? How does CBT make exams more secure? Instead of blocking three days to take a course and exam, you now only have to block two days in a row for the class and have the convenience to take an exam on a weekend or any other time that might work with your schedule and with reduced travel. For those who might want additional preparation time, CBT offers the flexibility for additional study time. |
