ExCET - Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas
Frequently Asked Questions
- When do the test materials arrive?
- Why are there separate shipments?
- When are the final rosters available?
- A test taker with disabilities or health-related needs arrives without approved testing accommodations and wants to test, but a separate room would be required to avoid distraction to the other test takers. What does the test center supervisor do if they do not have an extra room or proctor to administer the test?
- Why can't examinees sign out during the last 15 minutes of testing?
- How do I become a CBT/iBT test center?
- Is an Embassy-issued ID acceptable for out-of-country test takers?
- There seems to be a discrepancy between the explanation of a two-part last name and the Acceptable Name Differences table in the slide deck? How do you know if the name Suarez Thomas is a two-part last name or acceptable middle name discrepancy?
- Previously ETS had written the recent marriage or divorce policy to state that recent meant that the documents were issued with the last six months. The policy now states that if the examinee was married or divorced between the time that they registered and the test date that they may be permitted to test. The test center supervisors have no way of knowing when an examinee registered, so how do they follow this policy correctly?
- Who is required to complete a W9 form?
- How do the test center supervisors get reimbursed for additional supplies (e.g., paper, batteries) needed for the test administration?
- Can examinees that arrive obviously sick be excused from testing? What options do TCAs have if they observe that an examinee is exhibiting flu-like symptoms prior to starting the test (e.g., during check-in)?
- Can the test administrator be reimbursed if they purchase face masks for their staff?
- Are examinees permitted to wear surgical masks during the test?
