Your admission ticket

Several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers (no pens); pencils will not be supplied at the test site

See “Test Selection” for information about other items to bring to the test administration for specific tests.

Proper identification as described in “Identification Policy” below

See “Test Site Rules” for information about what is not allowed at the test site.

If you do not have proper identification or your admission ticket, please report directly to the Information Table at the test site. You may be required to complete additional paperwork, which may reduce your available testing time.


Identification Policy

You must bring the following personal identification to the test administration:

• An official identification card with a recent photograph (such as a driver’s license, non-driver photo identification, student identification, identification from your place of employment, or another recognized form of official identification)
  
  
• One additional piece of identification (with or without a photograph)

If the name on your identification differs from the name in which you are registered, you must bring official verification of the change (e.g., marriage certificate, court order).

As part of the identity verification process, your thumbprint will be taken at the test site. Thumbprints will be used only for the purpose of identity verification. If you do not provide a thumbprint, you will not be allowed to test and you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind. Note that a thumbprint provided at the test administration does not fulfill the fingerprint requirement for New York State teacher certification.
