Computer-based testing
Test Selection for VCLA Computer-Based Testing
You may register to take either or both VCLA subtests on computer. Test sessions are four hours in length; examinees must report to the test center 30 minutes before their scheduled testing time to be signed in. Test sessions are by appointment and are scheduled by examinees (see "Internet Registration").

If you register for both VCLA subtests, you will be assigned to complete both subtests during one four-hour test session. If you register for only one subtest, you will have the full four-hour test session to complete the subtest. If you wish to register for both subtests and you wish to take each subtest in a separate four-hour test session, you must submit a separate registration for each subtest. Please note that the nonrefundable registration processing fee is charged for each registration submitted (see "Test Fees and Payment Policies") and that there can be no guarantee that the two test sessions can be scheduled consecutively.


Paper-based testing
Test Selection for VCLA and VRA Paper-Based Testing
The VCLA is conducted in morning test sessions that are four hours in length. The session has a reporting time of 7:30 a.m. and ends at approximately noon. You may register to take one or both of the VCLA subtests (the reading subtest and writing subtest) during this test session. If you register for both VCLA subtests, you will be assigned to complete both subtests during one four-hour test session. If you register for only one subtest, you will have the full four-hour test session to complete the subtest.

The VRA tests are conducted in afternoon test sessions that are four hours in length. The session has a reporting time of 12:30 p.m. and ends at approximately 5:00 p.m.

Examinees will be assigned to one or two sessions according to the number and type of tests for which they registered. As the tests are only offered during certain sessions, session requests cannot be honored.
