Emergency supplies of test booklets will be located at the regional centers listed below. These centers are intended to provide test booklets for last-minute emergencies, when copies can no longer be obtained from the Department. The officials in charge are authorized to release examination booklets only on the day of the examination. Only materials for morning examinations will be released in the morning; materials for afternoon examinations may be released any time after 11:00 a.m. Scoring keys will not be released until after the Uniform Statewide Admission Deadlines (10:00 a.m. for morning examinations; 2:00 p.m. for afternoon examinations).

Please contact the official in charge of the regional center before sending a representative to pick up test materials. The person sent to pick up an emergency supply of test materials must present authorization written on school letterhead stationery and signed by the principal. The authorization must identify the person picking up the materials and list the specific materials requested. The school representative obtaining examination materials must provide identification with a photograph, countersign the authorization letter, and leave it with the official in charge of the regional center.
