How to Register

Planning ahead when scheduling your test date

It's important to consider your overall timeline when choosing a test date. You need to make sure scores will be sent prior to application deadlines, and you may want to leave time for retesting, if needed. Be sure to:

  • pick a test date at least 2 to 3 months before your earliest admissions deadline to ensure your scores will be reported in time
  • register for the test 4 months before your desired test date
