Refer to "Test Dates for Computer-Based Testing" for testing availability and to "Test Sites for Computer-Based Testing" for information about available test centers.

Registration. Registration for computer-based testing is available on the Internet by selecting "Register Now" on the ICTS Web site. There may be an additional computer-based testing fee for a test taken on computer; see "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for additional information. The following guidelines apply to computer-based testing registration:

• You should plan to register as early as possible before your desired testing date. Test appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and seating is limited.
• Once you have registered for a computer-based test, you must wait until after you have taken the test to register again for the same computer-based test.
• If you tested before January 17, 2012, you must wait 120 days after taking a computer-based ICTS test before retaking the same test on computer.
• If you tested on or after January 17, 2012, you must wait 60 days after taking a computer-based ICTS test before retaking the same test on computer.

Test administration. In computer-based testing, examinees complete the test by selecting answers on-screen to multiple-choice questions and typing responses to writing assignments. See "Reporting to the Test Site for Computer-Based Testing," "What to Bring to the Test Site for Computer-Based Testing," and "Test Site Rules" for details about the day of the test, including information about identification and security policies.

Score reporting. Scores are reported according to the schedule indicated in "Test Dates for Computer-Based Testing." See "Release of Your Test Scores" for additional information on score reporting.
