Checking in at the test center:

  1. You should arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes early; if you're late, you won't be able to take the test.
  2. You must meet all the following test taker requirements:
    • Show an ETS-approved form of identification that contains a photograph and signature. The name on your ID must exactly match the name you provided at registration.
    • Provide handwriting and signature samples.
    • Have your photo taken. This will be displayed at your computer station and embedded into your paper score report.
  3. Identification documents are the only personal items allowed in the testing room.
  4. You'll be assigned a seat by the test administrator.

Please note: Some test centers also require one or more of these:

  • Metal detector scan or security wanding
  • Thumb scan
  • ID with electronic chip
  • Video monitoring of the testing room during the test
