Policies for students enrolled before September 1, 2009

Exam Day Materials

You will be informed of any allowed materials when you request to take the exam. Most exams require nothing more than a pen or pencil; however, you may be permitted to bring other materials for some exams. For example, some math courses allow the examinee to bring a graphing calculator, and foreign language courses often require that you bring a blank audiotape.

Your exam request confirmation will indicate allowed materials. Bring to the examination only those materials allowed.

Exam Day Rules

To take an exam, you must present a recent, approved photo identification card (ID). Approved photo identification cards include your:

  • driver’s license
  • school ID
  • military ID
  • valid passport.

If you do not have a photo ID, you will need to apply for one now so you will have it by the time you need to take your first exam.

You can obtain a photo ID from your local department of public safety, or you may contact the K-16 Education Testing Center to request that an ID form be sent to you. The completed form, to which you will attach your photo, requires the signature of a notary public. It will probably take you about a week to complete the form and send it back to us. You must present your notarized ID form at the testing site before you will be permitted to take the exam.
