2. Test Admission Ticket
Once registered, you will be emailed a Test Admission Ticket. Make sure to print out it out and bring it with you to the test sitting.
The Test Admission Ticket will have three sets of information:
- Test Registration Number (REG#) and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Make a copy of your REG# and PIN and keep them in a safe place. You will need your REG# and PIN if you wish to view your test scores online.
- Your name, address, contact, and personal information. Check the name on the ticket to make sure that it is spelled exactly the same as on your identification. Check the printing of the other information on your ticket. If there are spelling errors, numerical errors, or changes to addresses or contact information, please inform us immediately.
- Test Session Information. Check carefully the address of the testing centre, and the date and time of the test.
