What do I need to know before taking a test?To maintain integrity and security, you MUST bring a picture ID with you to take any test. Tests MUST be COMPLETED by closing time.
Items which are not required for a test, such as cell phones and other electronic devices, will be stored in our lockers for the duration of the test. Once a test is started it must be completed without leaving, except under special circumstances.

In order for services to remain free or low cost, we ask that every student record their attendance by logging in to our system.
