Because the selection of these passages and questions will not be based on your performance, you will be allowed to go back to previous questions. In the Writing section, you will be given a single topic. You may choose to type your essay response to that topic on the computer or to write your response by hand. Scores on the paper and computer-based tests will be on different scales. There are two types of test centers, permanent and mobile.
Permanent centers are open year-round.
Mobile centers are open only during specified months or periods. Before you attempt to schedule a testing appointment, check testing centers list carefully for center availability. You can take the test even if you have no previous computer experience. You are required to complete tutorial sections on the computer before the test begins. These sections teach the computer skills you will need for taking the test.
