Testing Procedures
• Prometric provides registration and scheduling services Monday through Friday,
7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time, excluding holidays observed by Prometric.
• Upon registration, Prometric will provide you with instructions regarding your appointment, cancellation procedures, ID requirements, and a choice of testing center locations.
• To change or cancel an appointment, you must notify the Prometric Registrar at least one (1) business day prior to your scheduled appointment by 7p.m. CST.
• When you schedule an appointment, Prometric will send you a confirmation letter that includes the test schedules, your test center location, directions, and information on test-taking procedures.
Preparing for a Master ASE Level Test
A test analysis conducted by Compaq and Prometric shows that a regular program
of class attendance and self-study is required to pass the test on the first attempt. Courseware for the ASE program has been designed for skilled professionals with
a high degree of industry knowledge, years of associated experience, and demonstrated expertise in a network environment. Therefore, it is essential that students:
Take adequate time to review all the information presented in class.
Review all reference documentation and support materials.
Answer all Learning Checks contained in the student training materials.
Complete all written and hands-on lab assignments.
If these measures are not followed, chances of successfully passing any ASE level tests is very limited.
Recommended Time for Testing
Testing statistics prove that 70% of all ASE level tests are passed when students take the test three to seven days after class attendance. This amount of time typically provides adequate study time and allows testing to take place while the
information is still fresh. Conversely, the same statistics show a greater than 80% failure rate for students attempting their test immediately after a class or if they wait more than two weeks after class completion.
