On Test Day
If you have any questions or need information on the day of the test (Saturday), you may call
the CHSPE Office toll-free at (866) 342-4773 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. If you test on a
Sunday, the CHSPE office will be available by phone from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. (noon).
Test Day Schedule
Report to your assigned test site before 8:00 a.m., regardless of which part(s) of the test
you plan to take. If you arrive after 8:00 a.m. and the test administration staff have
begun reading the test directions to examinees, you will not be admitted to the
test session. Depending on the length of time required for check-in, the test administration
is expected to end at approximately 1:30 p.m. The actual testing time is 3½
hours. During the testing time, you may take the Mathematics section, the English-language
Arts Language subtest, or the English-language Arts Reading subtest, or any
combination of the three.
Test Rules
At the test site and during the test administration, you must follow all instructions
indicated in this website and given to you either orally or in writing by testing
personnel. During the test adminsitration (including restroom breaks), you may not communicate with other examinees
or anyone other than the testing staff in any way. If you communicate with another person taking
the test, receive assistance from anyone other than the testing staff during the test
administration, try to take the test for someone else, have someone take the test for
you, use prohibited items, have a cell phone that is on, or do not follow instructions,
you will be dismissed and your test results will be voided. If you bring a
calculator, you must abide by the rules described on the What to Bring page.
Late Arrivals
It is very important that you arrive before 8:00 a.m. at the test site. You must be sitting
in the test room when the test administration staff begin reading the administration
directions to examinees. To avoid disruption,
and out of respect for examinees who are on time, if you arrive after 8:00 a.m. and
staff have begun reading the test administration instructions,
you will not be admitted to the test session, you will be counted as an
absentee, and you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind. Be aware that other examinees may be
signing in and there may be a line.
Visitors
Visitors are not permitted in the testing area. Friends and relatives must remain
outside of the testing area. If at any time during the exam you have contact with
anyone other than testing site staff without permission, you will be dismissed
and your results will be voided.
Upon Completion of the Exam
Once you have completed the parts of the test you wish to take (Mathematics, English-language
Arts Language subtest and/or English-language Arts Reading subtest), you may be excused from the test session. Before
you are excused, all of your test materials will be collected and checked. You may
not reenter the test site once you have been dismissed. At the end of the test
session, all test materials will be collected and checked, and all remaining examinees
will be excused.
Test Administration Comments
If you have any comments about the test site or the administration of the test,
