Nonstandard testing arrangements
If you have needs that prevent you from taking your exam under standard testing conditions, if you have a disability or other health condition, or if English is not your primary language, you may be eligible to receive nonstandard testing arrangements.

Nonstandard Testing Arrangements Handbook
ASWB has recently published a handbook for candidates requesting nonstandard testing arrangements.
Some needs can be met without the need to request nonstandard testing arrangements. For example, all test-takers have access to drinks and snacks during break(s). Additionally, Pearson VUE’s comfort aids list includes items that may be brought into the secure testing space without approval of nonstandard testing arrangements.
You must request and receive approval for nonstandard testing arrangements before you register with ASWB to take the exam. Do not register for an examination until you receive our decision letter email. ASWB requires that you request and receive approval for nonstandard testing arrangements in advance, so the test center is prepared and your testing experience goes smoothly without compromising exam security. If you schedule a testing appointment before obtaining nonstandard testing arrangements, you will be required to cancel your testing appointment. Nonstandard testing arrangements cannot be added to an existing testing appointment.
Requests are reviewed in the order received and can take up to three weeks. You will be notified by email if we need additional information and when the determination has been made. It is your responsibility to contact ASWB if you have not received any communication after three weeks.
Notice
Due to high volume, applicants may expect a longer than typical processing time.
