\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/span> Exam Registration<\/h2>\nTo register for the exam, you will need to choose whether to take the exam in-person at a testing center or remotely from home. Regardless of your testing method, the examination fee is $96.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\nThe day of your exam will look slightly different depending on which test-taking method you chose during registration.<\/p>\n
<\/span>In-person Testing<\/h3>\nYou should arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes before the scheduled exam appointment. Once you arrive, you will begin the check-in process, which involves checking your ID and potentially taking your photograph for security purposes.<\/p>\n
Before you enter the testing room, you will be asked to leave all personal items inside a secure locker outside of the room. This includes items like your cell phone, wallet, keys, hats, bags, and food.<\/p>\n
