Once you have established your account, you can apply to take the exam.<\/p>\n<p>During the exam registration, select the test format (online or at a testing center), test location (if you are taking the test at a testing center), and test date. You will also need to pay the $146 exam fee.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"pt-page\"><span id=\"Test_Day\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"Inperson_Testing\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>In-person Testing<\/h3>\n<p>On the day of your exam, you should arrive at the testing facility at least 15 minutes before your scheduled exam time. Once you arrive, you will be asked to present two forms of valid identification, one of which must be a photo ID.<\/p>\n<p>Personal items will not be allowed into the testing center, so it is best to leave things like bags, notebooks, and food items at home or in your car.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Athome_Testing\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>At-home Testing<\/h3>\n<p>To take the exam remotely, you must use a laptop or desktop computer for the exam. Your computer will need a speaker, microphone, and camera.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to download and install the ETS Secure Test Browser on the computer you will use to test. Your environment must be private, with no traffic in and out of your testing area. The area where you take the exam must be clear of all personal items, and you will not be allowed to wear headphones. The proctor will ask you to move the camera around so that your testing area can be observed, and at the end of your exam, the proctor will watch as you erase any notes you made.<\/p>\n<p>Before you register for at-home test delivery, make sure you meet all the requirements listed, and run a test of the secure browser to ensure your computer can function smoothly.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"pt-page\"><span id=\"How_the_Exam_is_Scored\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\n<p>Each question answered correctly is worth one raw point.
