Internet Registration for Computer-Based Testing

• Return to Internet Registration

Registration for CSET computer-based tests is available online only on the CSET website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Before you register. Before you register, please review the "Registration Checklist" to ensure that you have all of the information you need to complete the registration process. Because of laws protecting confidentiality and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test.

If you wish to request alternative testing arrangements, see "Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements" for information about how to complete and submit the Alternative Testing Arrangements Request Form for Computer-Based Testing.

Payment. Payment must be made at the time of registration using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without the VISA or MasterCard logo cannot be accepted. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for complete information about registration and service fees and payment policies.

You should try to register as early as possible before your desired test date. Due to the amount of time required to process a CSET registration, you may not be able to schedule a test appointment if you register within three calendar days of the day on which you plan to take the test. Test appointments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and seating is limited.

Please note the following restrictions:

• You must wait 45 calendar days before retaking a computer-based test.
• Once you have registered, you must wait until after you have tested to register again for the same computer-based test.

How to register. Registration for computer-based testing is a two-part process with a registration step and a scheduling step.

1. Registering for the test. To register, select "Register Now" on the CSET website and follow the instructions provided. You will be asked to provide your personal and payment information. If you don't have an account, you will be prompted to create one.  See "About My Account" for information about creating and using an account. Be sure to have available your email address, Social Security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). Enter your name as it appears on your government-issued identification that you plan to use for admittance to the test center. When you register online, you may sign up to receive your scores by email.

   Acknowledgment of registration and Authorization to Test. After you have completed the registration process, Evaluation Systems will send you an email acknowledging that you have submitted a registration. Within one business day, Evaluation Systems will email you an Authorization to Test. This Authorization to Test allows you to schedule a test appointment. Be sure to check the information on your Authorization to Test when you receive it. Notify Evaluation Systems immediately if any testing information needs to be corrected.

   Your Authorization to Test is valid for one year from the date of issue. If you do not schedule a test appointment and take your test within one year, or withdraw your registration within one year, your authorization will expire, and you will receive no refund or credit of any kind.

2. Scheduling your test. Follow the instructions on your Authorization to Test to schedule your test appointment. After you schedule your appointment, you will be sent an email confirming your appointment and providing the address and phone number of the test center, as well as directions to the test center.
