Once you pay for the exam, you will receive an order number via e-mail. Please keep that order number and have it available during all correspondence with the Testing Office.

Exams must be taken no later than 2 days after your International Student check-in appointment. If you do not test within this window of time, you will not be able to test. No exceptions!
