Scheduling with Prometric

Your Scheduling Permit

If ABCC has approved your application, an orange Scheduling Permit will be mailed to you in early August. Your Scheduling Permit will include instructions and the phone number for making an appointment at a Prometric test center.  Please contact ABCC immediately at 212-305-3254 if the name on your permit is misspelled or differs from your name as it appears on your identification. Please see Exam Day Procedures for instructions on how to be prepared on test day.

Name changes or corrections cannot be made within 7 business days of your scheduled testing appointment.

Inquiries about your appointment must be directed to Prometric. For current information on the locations of Prometric Test Centers, visit the Prometric website at http://www.prometric.com.

Scheduling Your Test Date

You must have your Scheduling Permit before you contact Prometric to schedule a testing appointment. You should contact Prometric as soon as you receive the permit.  Prometric schedules testing appointments on a first-come, first-served basis.  The sooner you schedule your appointment, the more likely you will receive your preferred test time and location.

When you call to schedule your examination appointment you will be asked to provide the program code, exam code and scheduling number which will be located in the box at the top of the permit.  Prometric will provide you with the test center location and telephone number.  Please call the test center for directions.

The testing window is too narrow to permit rescheduling test appointments, except to change test center location.

Confirm your testing center location one week before your appointment via Prometric’s website or by contacting Prometric at the telephone number listed on your permit.

Any test location changes must be made with Prometric within 5 business days of the exam.

Test Centers and Testing Conditions

Prometric provides computer-based testing services for academic assessment, professional licensure, and certification.  Prometric testing centers are set up similarly. This not only helps enhance security, but also provides the same standards for comfort and uniformity for all examinees.  Prometric testing centers provide the resources necessary for secure administration of the examination, including video and audio monitoring and recording, and use of digital cameras to record the identity of examinees.
