1. Scheduling Your Assessment

  • Register and pay at (create ebas.org an account if new)
  • Receive your eligibility ID and Prometric link by email from EBAS (within 1–2 business days)
  • At Prometric’s site, enter your eligibility ID and the first four letters of your last name
  • Select your test site, day, and time
  • Confirm your selections to finalize scheduling

Important

Schedule using a desktop or laptop. The Prometric site does not display correctly on mobile devices.

Once scheduled, you’ll receive a confirmation with your test location, date, and time.

2. Arriving at the Testing Center

Permitted Items

DO Bring

  • Valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, military, or state/ province ID)
  • Car keys
  • Locker key (provided at check-in)

NOT Allowed

  • Cell phones
  • Tablets and all watches (including smartwatches)
  • Smart glasses
  • Notes, paper, or study materials
  • Bags or personal items

Lockers Provided

CCTV monitored lockers are provided to store personal belongings while taking your assessment. Locker size varies by Prometric testing site. You keep the locker key with you during the assessment.

Check-In Steps

To get started with your EBAS assessments, follow these steps:

  • Show your ID to the proctor
  • Empty pockets
  • Glasses inspected to ensure they are not electronic
  • Proctor takes photo and signature
  • Security scan

Important

Arrive at least 20 minutes early. Late arrivals are considered “no shows,” and assessment fees are forfeited. Bringing prohibited items into the testing room can result in your assessment being stopped.

3. NDA and Tutorial

Before your assessment begins

You must accept a non-disclosure agreement before continuing. You’ll see this screen before the tutorial. Accepting it allows you to move forward.

Tutorial

A short tutorial (about 10 minutes) shows you how to navigate the testing system. Tutorial time does not count toward your assessment.
