TExES Rules........A brief overview
|
These
are the most common problems to date at pbt administrations.
CHECK
YOUR TICKET UPON RECEIPT TO BE SURE THE INFORMATION IS COMPLETE
AND ACCURATE.
If the building where testing is taking place is not noted, contact
ETS at 1-800-205-2626.
Reprint
your ticket within 24 hours of testing for updates.
ARRIVE
EARLY. If you arrive late, you may not be able to test.
From
the ETS website:
Important
Test Center Reporting Time Policy Reminder
It is each test taker's responsibility to allow
plenty of time to arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes
prior to the start time, regardless of whether there is traffic
congestion, road construction, bad weather, car accidents, poor
directions, or any other incident that might delay arrival.
If test takers do not arrive early enough prior to the test
start time to allow for check in and pre-testing procedures,
they will not be permitted to test and their test fees willbe
forfeited. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
A
VALID GOVERNMENT ISSUED PICTURE ID IS MANDATORY.
If
you don't have a valid, signed, picture ID, you will not be allowed
to test.
Acceptable
ID documents are a valid:
-Passport
with photograph and signature
-Current
driver's license with photograph and signature
-State
identification with photograph and signature
-National
identification with photograph and signature
-Militray
identification with photograph and signature
The ID must
have the examinee's full name, which must match the registration
name. There is one exception: if an examinee has been
married or divorced between registering for and taking the exam
and the registration has the maiden name and the ID has the
married name (or vice versa), this is acceptable if the examinee
brings along a RECENT marriage license of divorce decree that
was issued between the registration and actual text date. "Recent"
can be interpreted to mean issued within the last six months.
The
ID must be current (not expired). There is one exception:
if an examinee's Texas driver's license has expired, but s/he
has the Texas Department of Public Safety renewal certificate,
these two together are acceptable as long as the name on the driver's
license and the name on the renewal certificate are the same.
If positive confirmation cannot be made, the examinee may be refused
admission to the test and will forfeit the registration and test
fees.
MECHANICAL
PENCILS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
HIGHLIGHTERS
ARE NOT ALLOWED.
CELL
PHONES, PAGERS AND WATCHES THAT BEEP ARE NOT ALLOWED.
From
the ETS newsletter:
Cell
phones are not allowed in test centers. If a test taker inadvertently
brings a cell phone into the test center, it will be collected
by the test center supervisor or associate supervisor who will
return it to the test taker at the end of the testing session.
Test center staff and ETS will not be held responsible for lost
or damaged cell phones. If a cell phone is not surrendered to
the test center supervisor, this is grounds for dismissal from
the test center and cancellation of the test taker's scores.
IF
YOU ARE TAKING A MATH EXAM, YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO BRING YOUR
OWN CALCULATOR. CHECK THE ETS WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.
DRINKS
WITH SCREW ON LIDS MAY BE ALLOWED.
