How to Register for Computer-Based Testing
Register by Telephone ONLY
To register for the ASE computer-based tests, call 1-800-525-6929 between January 5th and February 9th, 2004. Registration agents are available between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday – Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. A major credit card is required for payment.
The registration agent will collect your credit card and personal information, and confirm your eligibility for any recertification tests or the L1 test. The agent will then give you the dates and times available at the test center of your choice, and schedule your tests.
Request Multiple Tests
You may take one or more tests during a single testing appointment. The maximum amount of time you can schedule in a single appointment is 4½ hours. If the tests you request require more time than this (or if you prefer to spread out your testing), your tests will be scheduled into multiple appointments. This could be a morning and afternoon of the same day, or separate appointments on different days, depending on your preference and the test center’s schedule.
Appointment Length
The testing time allotted for each test varies from ½ hour to 2 hours. (See the preceding section on "The Computer-Based Tests" for specific details.) When you schedule your tests, a half-hour is added to each appointment. This allows time for check-in, a pre-test tutorial, and a post-test survey. It is important to report to the test center on time to allow sufficient time for all these activities plus the timed tests themselves.
E-mail Confirmation
Immediately after you register, you will receive a confirmation email, showing your choice of tests, the date and time of your testing appointment, and the location of the test center. You should print a copy of this e-mail for your records.
Take Additional Tests
If you wish to register for additional tests during this computer-based test offering, simply call back during the registration period. You will not be charged a second registration fee; you will only need to pay any additional test fees that are due.
For example, you could register and take the A8 Engine Performance Test for $103 ($68 Registration Fee plus $35 Test Fee). If you pass the A8 test and have your work experience information on file, you could call back and register for the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test, paying only the $70 Test Fee.
Re-taking Tests
If you miss or fail a test, you may retake it during future test periods, but you must register again and pay the appropriate registration and test fees. ASE further requires that you wait at least 45 days after you fail a test before you can take it again. This is considered to be the minimum amount of time for remedial training and practice. If you register and take the same test twice in less than 45 days, your second score will be cancelled and all fees will be forfeited.
