How do you find a test date with Pearson?
Use the Authorization to Test from ASWB to access Pearson scheduling. It covers one attempt and may be valid for up to one year, subject to any earlier board deadline. Read the actual expiration date before searching for appointments. If a preferred location has limited seats, compare nearby Pearson test centers and choose a date within your authorization window.
ASWB currently directs candidates to Pearson test centers. Its online proctoring pilot was suspended July 31, 2026. An open seat in Pearson does not extend your authorization or change the exam category. Save Pearson’s confirmation and verify the date, local time and testing location.
If the appointment confirmation does not arrive, check your account and contact Pearson to confirm that the reservation was completed. Leave time to travel and check in, and use the exam-day guidance to confirm which two forms of identification you need. If your name changes before your sitting, check the guidebook and contact the appropriate organization before test day.
