How long is the exam?
Your total exam time will be reported on your authorization notice, which will be emailed to you after your payment has been processed.
Is the exam open book?
NICET examinations are not open book. However, you may be permitted to bring certain standards and other bound references to the exam.
Can I use a laptop computer or calculator when taking my exam?
Testing sessions at Pearson Vue are administered via their computer network. There are built in calculators for use during the exam session. Handheld scientific calculators may be requested at sign in but they are on a first come first serve basis.
Can I take the exam in a language other than English?
No. Because NICET's programs are primarily designed for persons living in the United States and its territories, as well as U.S. citizens living abroad, NICET exams and publications are provided only in English.
Questions related to your personal progress toward meeting a certification requirement must be directed to NICET by telephone or by email. Please call 888-476-4238 or 703-548-1518, or email evaluations@nicet.org.
