Register for a test. If you haven’t already, create an account [at](at my.ase.com. Then)[ ](at my.ase.com. Then)[my.ase.com](at my.ase.com. Then)[. Then](at my.ase.com. Then) you can purchase your test and make a test appointment. If you haven’t taken an ASE test before, you will want to sign up for the test area where your skills are strongest. It’s important to look atthe applicable Official ASE Study Guide to understand the content of tests you are considering.  \n2. Make a test appointment. If you haven’t previously been certified in the test you want to take (except the G1 Test), you must make an appointment to take the test at a test center. Recertifiers may have other options, including Prometric ProProctor remote testing (which also requires an appointment) or the ASE Renewal App (an annual subscription service with no appointment required) .  \n3. Review the content and sample questions. Before your test appointment, be sure to download and review the ASE test preparation information for your test ([www.ase.com/](www.ase.com/)[ ](www.ase.com/)ase-study-guides) .  \nThe TEST SPECIFICATIONS outline the content of the tests and the number of questions in each content area. The TASK LISTS detail the job duties and the work that will be covered in the test. Each question on the test relates to a task in the list. Review the TASK LIST, thinking about whether you know how to perform each task listed.  \nAll questions are multiple-choice. The sample questions in the guide demonstrate types of questions used. Each question tests a specific diagnostic or repair problem and has only one correct answer.  \n4. At your test appointment. Allow extra time on test day. Whether you are going to the test center or testing remotely online through ProProctor, those who are late may be turned away and if so, will forfeit test fees. Have your admission ticket and unexpired, governmentissued photo ID with you.  \nEach appointment begins with a short tutorial on the operation of the testing platform.
