How to book a seat
You book with PSI, not with us, and not with the center. The state tells PSI you are eligible, then you pick a date, a center and a language. Bring the booking confirmation.
What to bring
One valid government photo identification that has not expired, for example a state driver's license, a state identification card, a passport or a permanent resident card. The photograph must look like you and the name must match your registration. Arrive at least 30 minutes early, because arriving late can cost you the seat and the fee. Books, notes and materials of any kind stay out of the exam room.
The exact list is in the candidate bulletin. PSI
Exam languages here
English, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese
The bulletin lists the exam languages once for the whole state program and does not say which language each center offers. You pick the language when you book.
