Test Selection

There are two test sessions on each test date. The morning test session begins at 7:15 a.m. and lasts until approximately 12:00 p.m. The afternoon test session begins at 12:30 p.m. and lasts until approximately 5:15 p.m. Each test session includes four hours of actual testing time. You will be assigned to either one or both test sessions, according to the number and type of tests for which you register. Some tests are available only in the morning session or only in the afternoon session. The test session(s) in which each test is offered are listed in the tables below.

You will be assigned one test to complete within the four-hour test session. You may not register to take any test more than once per test date. If you are taking both Elementary Education subtests, you will be assigned to take both subtests in one test session. The Superintendent test is an all-day, two-session test; if you are taking this test, you will be assigned to test in both test sessions and you will not be able to take any other tests on the same test date.

Information about the test session(s) to which you have been assigned and the test you have been scheduled to take during each session will be included on your admission ticket(s).
