Elimination of Paper Admission Tickets and Score Reports
Effective with the 2008–09 testing year, all candidates (except TASC/TASC–ASL candidates) will be required to print their admission tickets from their testing accounts on the ETS TExES website at www.texes.ets.org. Paper admission tickets will no longer be mailed to any candidates. (Currently, candidates taking paper-based tests can choose to have an admission ticket mailed to them.) TASC/TASC–ASL candidates will continue to receive a letter of authorization containing their appointment information in lieu of an admission ticket.

Also effective with the 2008–09 testing year, candidates will no longer be mailed a paper score report. Score reports will be posted on the ETS TExES website on the score reporting date and will be viewable for 90 days after posting. Candidates should be encouraged to print a copy for their records. Reprints of the score report will no longer be available.

ETS Updates
As of April 8, 2008, students will no longer receive on-site scoring at the conclusion of their CAT (computer administered test) exam.  Scores for the CAT exam will be available approximately 7 days after the test administration date.

2008-2009 test administration dates are available online for students.

Students should arrive at least 30 minutes early to the testing center.  Students who do not allow enough time to check in and get pre-testing procedure instructions will not be permitted into the test and their test fees will be forfeited.  There are no exceptions to this policy.
