Review the PASL submission window dates and deadlines to determine which submission window fits your schedule and choose your window carefully. If you select a submission window and later decide to change to another window, you will be subject to a reschedule fee. If you have entered task responses and then change your submission window, you will lose the information you entered.

If you miss deadlines, you are not eligible for fee refunds.
Resubmitting a Task
During the resubmission window, you may be eligible to register to resubmit responses to Tasks 1, 2 and/or 3 if you were not able to obtain the passing score for the assessment. For more information about resubmissions, see Resubmitting Your Tasks.
System Maintenance Windows
Several times during the year, ETS schedules downtimes where maintenance work is performed on ETS systems. The scheduled system downtimes that will impact your access to the registration and task submission system are listed below. The specific timeframe for each of the outages will be posted on your account prior to the outage. Plan your work in the system accordingly.
Remember, you can prepare task responses, artifacts and video files outside the system independent of these outages.
