VCLA Computer-Based Testing

The VCLA is now offered on computer. Computer-based testing (CBT) for the VCLA is available Monday through Saturday (excluding holidays) at Pearson VUE test centers nationwide, including five in Virginia. Refer to "Test Sites" for information about available test centers.

Registration for VCLA CBT is available only on the Internet by selecting "Register Now" on the VCLA and VRA Web site. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for computer-based testing fees and "Test Selection" for important information about registering for VCLA subtests.

In computer-based testing, examinees complete the subtest by selecting answers on-screen to multiple-choice items and typing responses to short-answer items and written assignments. See "Reporting to the Test Site," "What to Bring to the Test Site," and "Test Site Rules" for details about the day of the test, including information about identification and security policies.

Official score reports for VCLA CBT will be mailed within 10 business days after the test date. See "Release of Your Test Scores" for additional information about score reporting.

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