Registration is available on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no deadlines for VCLA CBT registrations, but you should plan to register as early as possible before your desired test date, as seating is limited.

Before you register. Because of laws protecting confidentiality and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test. Before you register, be sure to have available your e-mail address, social security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). You may wish to review the “Background Questions” to prepare answers to the questions you will be asked during registration.

You should also know which subtest(s) you plan to register for (see “Test Selection”). Note that if you wish to register for both subtests but take each subtest in a separate four-hour test session you must submit a separate registration for each subtest. You may not change the number of subtests you are taking per test session after registering.

See “Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements” if you wish to request alternative testing arrangements.

Please note that individuals who take a VCLA subtest on computer must wait 90 days before retaking the same subtest on computer.

Payment. Payment must be made at the time of registration using a credit card (VISA or Master- Card only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without the VISA or MasterCard logo cannot be accepted. Additional fees apply for VCLA CBT registration. See “Test Fees and Payment Policies” for complete information about registration fees and payment policies.

How to register. Registration for the computer-based VCLA is a two-part process with a registration step and a test-scheduling step.

1. Registering for the test. To register, select “Register Now” on the VCLA and VRA Web site and follow the instructions provided. Registration begins on this Web site, where you will be asked to provide your personal information and payment information. Be sure to have available your e-mail address, social security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). Enter your name as it appears on your government-issued identification.

   Confirmation of registration and authorization to test. After you have completed the Internet registration process, Evaluation Systems will send you an e-mail acknowledging that you have submitted a registration. Within one business day, Evaluation Systems will send you by e-mail an authorization to test. This authorization to test allows you to schedule the test(s) for which you registered.

2. Scheduling your test. After receiving your authorization to test from Evaluation Systems, you must visit the Pearson VUE Web site to schedule your test(s) by selecting your test date, testing time, and test center. Please note that first-time VCLA CBT examinees must create a Pearson VUE Web account before using the Web site to schedule a test and that account setup may require up to 24 hours.

   Confirmation of scheduled test. After you schedule your test, Pearson VUE will send you a confirmation by e-mail listing your test date, your testing time, and the address and phone number of the test center, as well as directions to the test center.

Registration is available on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, during all registration periods.

Internet registration periods end at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the regular, late, and emergency registration deadlines for each test administration. Registrations submitted after the regular and late registration deadlines will incur additional registration fees and registration options may be limited.

Before you register. Before you register, please review the “Registration Checklist” to ensure that you have all of the information you need to complete the registration process. Because of laws protecting confidentiality and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test.

If you wish to request alternative testing arrangements, your request and any required documentation must be submitted by mail or fax before the regular registration deadline. See “Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements” for information about how to complete and submit the Alternative Testing Arrangements Request Form.

After your registration has been processed and you have been assigned to a specific test site, you will receive an admission ticket by e-mail. Print your admission ticket and bring it with you to the test site. You also should print a copy for your records.
