Testing Assistance - Computer-Based Testing

Test Aids
You will be given scratch paper and pencil before the test. If you are taking the L1 test (regular or recertification), you will be given a fresh, printed copy of the Composite Vehicle Reference Booklet before the test. These materials must be returned at the end of the test.

If English is your second language, you may bring a standard published English/foreign language dictionary to use in the test. However, the dictionary will be inspected before and after the test for notes or inserted pages. Photocopied, hand-written, unbound, or electronic glossaries or dictionaries are not allowed.

Reader/Translator Assistance
NO Reader/Translator Assistance is allowed during ASE computer-based testing. Test candidates who have a reading difficulty not related to a disability (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act) are allowed to request reader/translator assistance during the May and November paper-and-pencil testing.

Bilingual Test Forms
NO Bilingual (English/Spanish) test forms are available during ASE computer-based testing. A limited number of ASE tests are given in a bilingual (English/Spanish) format during the May and November paper/pencil testing. You do not need to do anything special to receive these tests in bilingual format. All test candidates taking the tests that are available in bilingual format receive the bilingual test booklet.
