Student Exam Appointments

Don’t wait to schedule!

Schedule your exam appointment as early as possible—preferably at least three days in advance—to have the greatest choice of dates, times, and Testing Center locations. Appointment volume is typically highest on the final day of an exam window, and afternoon appointments often fill first.

If you wait to schedule, you may need to select an earlier date, a morning appointment, or a different Testing Center location. The Testing Center cannot guarantee your preferred date, time, or location. You are responsible for selecting from the appointments that remain available within your exam window.
