REGISTERING TO TEST
CHANGING YOUR REGISTRATION

If after registering you wish to modify your registration, you may submit a request on the Internet (for all tests except the ATS–P [video]) or send your request to Evaluation Systems by U.S. mail. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for information about the fees associated with registration modifications. If you need to correct or update personal information (e.g., your mailing address), you may complete a Registration Information Correction Form at the test site on the day of the test administration.

The following table describes the types of registration changes available, the forms to submit (either on the Internet or by U.S. mail), and the associated deadlines. Follow the instructions below to submit a registration modification request on the Internet or by U.S. mail.

Changing your test date. If you request to change your test date, all tests will be changed from the original test date to the new test date. If you wish to change the test date for some, but not all, of the tests for which you are registered, first withdraw from the tests you wish to change. Then, submit a new registration for those tests, selecting the test date of your choice.

Changing your test area. You may request to change the test area for which you are registered; however, such requests are granted based on available space. Requests to change from one testing facility to another in the same test area cannot be honored.

Adding a test or changing your test selection. You may request to add a test or change the tests for which you are registered. If you are changing your test selection to add a BEA other than Spanish, your Internet request must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the regular registration deadline or your Change of Registration Request or Test-Add Request Form must be postmarked by the regular registration deadline. If your change in registration results in an overpayment, your refund will be issued approximately five weeks after the test date.

Withdrawing from one or more tests. If you withdraw by the late registration deadline, you will receive a partial refund in the amount of
  • $40 for withdrawing from the LAST, the ATS–W, the CQST, a CST, or a BEA or

  • $15 for withdrawing from the ATAS.
The out-of-state testing fee for the April test date will not be refunded. If you registered during the late registration period, the late registration fee will not be refunded. Refunds will be issued approximately five weeks after the test date.

If you withdraw your registration for the ATS–P (video), you will receive a partial refund in the amount of $85 if your request is received by the final submission deadline of the 2008–2009 program year and before you have submitted your ATS–P video recording and/or related documentation.
