Information for Day of Test

Please arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time. This will give you adequate time to complete the necessary sign-in procedures.

What to Bring to the Testing Center:
Please be prepared to show one (1) form of personal ID. The ID must be current (not expired) and include your signature and photo. For security reasons, some test centers may also require you to provide a fingerprint and/or take your digital photo upon arrival.

You will not be allowed to take any personal items with you into the testing room. This includes all purses, bags, books, notes, PDAs, cell phones, pagers, watches, wallets, hats, gloves and coats. For the GR2 and T3 exams, you will be allowed to bring your TI BAII calculator into the testing room. You will not be allowed to bring in any other brand or type of calculator. Basic calculators will be available at the testing center for any exam. Upon arrival, you will be issued a locker to secure all your personal items during your test.

Refusal of Admission:
If you arrive more than 15 minutes past your scheduled exam time or lack the proper ID, you may be refused admission. If you bring a calculator other than the TI BAII calculator for your T3 or GR2 exam, you will have to use a basic calculator provided by the testing center or be refused admission. You will be charged a non-refundable fee of $200 USD (member)/$270 USD (nonmember) by WorldatWork at the time you reschedule this exam with WorldatWork.

Time Limit:
All WorldatWork exams have a time limit of three hours (180 minutes), with the exception of exams for T2: Accounting and Finance for the Human Resource Professional and T3/GR2: Quantitative Methods, which allow four hours (240 minute) for testing. Computer-based testing features a clock to track your remaining time.

To make an ADA request for special accommodations to take your exam, please contact WorldatWork at 877-951-9191 or 480-951-9191.

Exam Score:
Upon completion of your certification exam, you will immediately receive your preliminary score. Once confirmed by WorldatWork, you will receive an e-mail with a link to your transcript when your official score has been posted. Your final score will generally be posted within two weeks of your exam. A 75% score is needed to pass all WorldatWork Society exams.
