THERE ARE TWO DEADLINES. If you meet the "Registration and Schedule" deadline, you will likely get your preferred testing date, time, and location; however, there is no guarantee. If you wait until the “Late Registration and Schedule” deadline, you will be charged additional fees, and you are less likely to get your preferred testing date, time, or location.
To schedule your preferred testing date, time, and location, visit Pearson VUE.
Proceed through the on-screen instructions to select your testing date, time, and location. Please take sufficient time to carefully read the check-in policy and the cancellation policy.
We strongly suggest that you review the Pearson VUE Testing Tutorial and Practice Exam prior to testing at a Pearson VUE Test Center.
The Official PCAT Practice Tests and Study Guide will provide you with a unique opportunity to prepare for the actual test. Three components are now available for purchase:
You will need to arrive at your scheduled Test Center 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. This will give you adequate time to complete the necessary sign-in procedures.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for an exam, you will be denied admission, will forfeit your PCAT Registration Fee and any other fees paid for optional services, and will not be able to reschedule your PCAT registration to a different testing window.
Two forms of original (no photo/digital copies), valid (unexpired) IDs—one form as a primary ID (government-issued with name, photo, and signature) and one form as a secondary ID (with only name required).
If you require an accommodation as an exception to any of the above items, you must submit a written request To PCAT Customer Relations providing the appropriate documentation explaining the need for this accommodation.
You will NOT have access to any purses, cell phones, or backpacks during the exam. These items must be stored in a designated secure area provided at the Pearson VUE Test Center. All electronic devices MUST be turned off while in the secure area. If your cell phone rings or makes any noise while in the secure area, your test will be invalidated and your testing fees will not be refunded. During the rest break, accessing a personal item, such as an item needed to take to a restroom, is allowed. However, if you access any other prohibited item from the secure area (cell phone, backpack, study notes, etc.), your test will be invalidated and your testing fees will not be refunded. If you access, check, or turn on your cell phone at any time during your testing session (including during your break), your test will be invalidated and your testing fees will not be refunded.
Neither Pearson, its affiliated companies, agents, contractors, nor the Pearson VUE Test Centers assume responsibility for the theft, loss, or damage to any prohibited electronic device or other personal property brought into the Test Center or left in your car.
