Out-of-State Test Areas (June only)

Out-of-state testing is available for the June test date only in the following five test areas. Out-of-state test areas are offered subject to the requirement that there is a minimum number of examinees per area. Examinees will be notified if a test area selected during registration is not available due to insufficient registration. Because of space limitations at some of the out-of-state test areas, examinees are urged to register early.

During the late registration period, examinees may be able to register for an out-of-state test area, subject to space availability. Registration for out-of-state test areas is not available during the emergency registration period.
