ASE Certification Tests Can Be Intimidating

Step 1 - Arrive at the test site prepared to take the test. Bring a photo ID and your test registration paper.

Step 2 - Before being assigned a computer on which you will take the test, the following will be performed:

  • You'll be issued a locker where you will place everything that is in your pockets except for your photo ID.
  • You'll be asked to turn your pockets inside out to verify that there is nothing left in your pockets.
  • You'll be asked to stand on a line with your arms outstretched allowing for sensor wand to be used to check for anything on your body.
  • You'll be asked to lift-up your pant legs to verify there is nothing hidden in your socks.

Step 3 - After being checked, you'll be given your photo ID and the key to your locker.

Step 4 - The inspector will ask you to sign in and wait while he/she starts the computer that you will use for your test.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The testing area is under constant video surveillance

Step 5 - After the testing computer has been set up, you'll be escorted to the computer cubical and instructed to place your photo ID on a holder and the key to your locker on the table in front of you.

Step 6 - Next, you'll click on the screen and walk through a short tutorial of what you can expect with the test. The tutorial will show you how to flag questions for review at the end of the test. You can even change the language to Spanish. When the tutorial is finished, the test will begin. Click start and the questions are displayed. Each test has a time limit and the time remaining is displayed on the upper left corner. The number of the test question is shown at the upper right corner of the screen such as 17/50.

HINT: If you are spending too much time on one question, flag it and move on to the next question. The program will display and allow you to go back and answer the questions you skipped if there is time remaining at the end.

Step 7 - After the last question has been answered, you'll be shown a screen displaying any flagged questions. Once all questions are answered, you can click to exit the test. You can now exit the test area.

Step 8 - When you exit the testing area, you'll be asked to sign out and show your photo ID. Your test score will be printed out, stamped, signed, and given to you before you retrieve your belongings. You are now free to leave the testing center.

Hopefully you'll be leaving with the pride in accomplishment that you passed your ASE Certification test and have earned your patch!
