2008–2009 REGISTERING TO TEST

Changing Your Registration

If after registering you wish to modify your registration, you may submit a request on the Internet or send your request to Evaluation Systems by U.S. mail. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for information about the fees associated with registration modifications. If you need to correct or update personal information (e.g., your mailing address), you may complete a Registration Information Correction Form at the test site on the day of the test administration.

The following table describes the types of registration changes available, the forms to submit (either on the Internet or by U.S. mail), and the associated deadlines. Follow the instructions below to submit a registration modification request on the Internet or by U.S. mail.

Changing your test date. If you request to change your test date, all tests will be changed from the original test date to the new test date. If you wish to change the test date for some, but not all, of the tests for which you are registered, first withdraw from the tests you wish to change. Then, submit a new registration for those tests, selecting the test date of your choice.

Changing your test area. You may request to change the test area for which you are registered; however, such requests are granted based upon available space. Requests to change from one testing facility to another in the same test area cannot be honored.

Adding a test or changing your test selection. You may request to add tests or change the tests for which you are registered. If your change in registration results in an overpayment, your refund will be issued approximately five weeks after the test date.

Withdrawing from one or more tests. If you withdraw by the late registration deadline (or by the regular registration deadline for the May 2009 and July 2009 supplemental administrations), you will receive a partial refund in the amount of

• $15 for each test withdrawn from the Basic Skills assessment,
• $21 for withdrawing from the Paraprofessional assessment, or
• $39 for each test withdrawn from the Professional Pedagogy assessment, the Educational Leadership assessment, or a content assessment.

The registration processing fee and the supplemental test administration fee (for the May 2009 and July 2009 supplemental administrations) will not be refunded. If you registered during the late registration period, the late registration fee will not be refunded. Refunds will be issued approximately five weeks after the test date.
