• Mailing address – Please provide the address to which you would like your score report or other important information mailed.
• Exam title.

For the closest test center to you, use our simple search function to find locations for your chosen test.

Many test appointments can be canceled and/or rescheduled through logging in to your account. Typically, we allow you to schedule 1 day prior if space is available and we require 2 business days to reschedule your exam without penalty. Check with your sponsor’s FAQ or Candidate Information Bulletin for your program’s particular rescheduling rules if applicable.

Please note that not all Licensing Authorities/Sponsors require eligibility to take their exam, therefore, you may be able to test immediately. For those programs requiring eligibility, the files are downloaded and test appointment scheduling is available within 24-48 hours of receiving authorization from the licensing authority.

The testing centers’ primary purpose is to administer exams. Candidates should visit our website or contact our Candidate Service Center to schedule an exam appointment. Test center staff are not able to schedule appointments for their test center under any circumstances.

When you go to our website or speak to a representative from our Candidate Service Center you will be asked to provide your preferred test date. The first available time slot on that date will be offered to you. If your preferred appointment date is not available, you will see available sessions online, and/or a Candidate Service Center representative will work with you to identify a convenient appointment date.

In rare cases weather or an emergency forces a test center closure. If this happens you will be contacted by the PSI rescheduling department within 24-48 hours to reschedule your appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Exam sessions are available at least 6 weeks in advance. You will have the best opportunity to schedule your preferred date if you schedule 4-6 weeks prior to your preferred date.
