Fall Exam Window Important Dates:

Note: PSI Test Center seats fill up quickly, so it is highly recommended that you register for your exam and schedule your exam appointment as soon as you receive your eligibility confirmation email. The later you apply and schedule, the fewer options you may have for test date, location and method.
