Once you have created your ETS account, you can select the option to register for the ParaPro Assessment. Online registration is available 24\/7, and appointments are scheduled year-round.<\/p>\n Registering for the exam differs slightly depending on the test delivery method.<\/p>\n To register for the exam at a Prometric testing center, you should register online at the Prometric website. When you register, you will need to pay the $85 testing fee.<\/p>\n The test is also offered at participating school districts, regional offices of education, or other agencies. Check where the exam is provided if you want an alternative testing location. Once you\u2019ve chosen your test center, register with the test center directly.<\/p>\n Before registering for the at-home test, ensure your equipment and environment meet the minimum requirements, including a well-lit, quiet space without the presence of others and a workspace free of pens, paper, electronic devices, and resources that could provide an unfair advantage.<\/p>\n Once you have determined that you meet the minimum requirements for home delivery, register and schedule your appointment through ProProctor, Prometric\u2019s online proctoring platform. The registration fee is $85.<\/p>\n You should arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete the pre-test activities. You need to present one valid, government-issued ID with a signature. Your first and last name on the ID must match the first and last name you registered under.<\/p>\n Calculators, writing utensils, beverages and snacks, electronic devices (cell phones, smart watches, etc.), and resource materials are prohibited. An online scratchpad tool is provided in the test program for note-taking.<\/p>\n Once you have completed the pre-test procedures, you are directed to your testing station, and your test begins.<\/p>\n You can sign into the test delivery platform 30 minutes before your appointment. You will need the confirmation number from the email you received after registering, and you must present one valid, government-issued ID with a signature to the proctor. Your first and last name on the ID must match the first and last name you registered under.<\/p>\n Calculators, writing utensils, beverages and snacks, electronic devices (cell phones, smart watches, etc.), and resource materials are prohibited. An online scratchpad tool is provided in the test program for note-taking. In addition to the scratchpad tool, you are allowed a hand-held whiteboard (white), one whiteboard eraser, cloth, or tissue, and up to three dry-erase markers. Scratch paper is not permitted.<\/p>\n Before beginning the exam, the proctor will direct you to move the webcam around your testing space, and your clothing will be inspected visually. You may be asked to pull your hair back, roll your sleeves up and turn your pockets inside out.<\/p>\n Once the proctor is satisfied with your space and workstation and you have completed the pre-test activities, your exam begins.<\/p>\n Your ParaPro Assessment score is calculated using a scaled scoring system. This system takes your raw score (each correct question equals one raw point) and converts it to a scaled score ranging from 420 to 480. Each state sets the minimum passing score, so the score you need will be different depending on your state.<\/p>\n You’ll receive an unofficial score at the end of your test. If you test at home, your unofficial score will appear onscreen. If you test in person at a school, institution, or education service center, your unofficial score will appear onscreen and can be printed at the end of the test.<\/p>\n Your official score report will be posted in your ParaPro account and issued electronically to your designated score recipient about 2\u20133 weeks after your test date. Scores are valid for 10 years.<\/p>\n If you did not pass the ParaPro Assessment or would like to increase your score, you can retake the exam as soon as you’d like. If you need to retake it more than once, you’ll need to wait at least seven days, after which you can retake it two more times.<\/p>\n To schedule your retake after the waiting period, register and pay for the exam using the same procedures you used to register initially. There is no reduction in the registration fee for retake exams.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t Check Out Mometrix's ParaPro Flashcards<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t Get complex subjects broken down into easily understandable concepts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t Get Your Flashcards →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>ParaPro Assessment Outline<\/h2>\n
