Registration is by mail and the deadlines are strictly enforced. The basic skills test may be taken at any time. Students should plan to take the test in their subject matter two test dates prior to completion of their program.
Test scores are available approximately six weeks after the test date.
Registration bulletins, study guides, and additional information are available in 130 Education. However, not all tests are administered at all sites on all test dates. Each state has unique certification requirements which must be met by public school teachers. If students know in advance that they will be teaching in a particular state, they should acquaint themselves with the pertinent requirements and make arrangements to fulfill them.
