Tips and Things to Remember

o Each individual test has a unique ID, individually created. o Test booklets can only be used once, for one test taker. o Printed tests expire 45 days after print date. • Tests will not score after they have expired. o It is recommended that tests be printed on an “as needed” basis. • Any extra test booklets should be shredded. •

If tests are stored during the 45-day period, they must be stored in accordance with NCCER’s Policies and Procedures.

o It is recommended that you prepare and print paper tests at least 24, but no more than 48 hours in advance so that adequate time is allotted to create and print the test booklets. o It is recommended that you separate the individual tests that were printed and staple them, in order, to keep the pages together.
