2008–2009
REGISTERING TO TEST
|
You may register by U.S. mail during the regular and late registration periods only. Please note that the registration
deadlines are strictly enforced.
For the regular registration period, your registration materials must be postmarked by the regular registration
deadline. Registration materials postmarked after the regular registration deadline must include the late
registration fee or they will be returned unprocessed. This may delay your administration date or cause you to
incur additional registration fees. If your registration envelope bears multiple postmarks, the most recent date
will govern.
For the late registration period, your registration form and payment, including the late registration fee, must be
received no later than 4:00 p.m. mountain time on the late registration deadline. Registration materials
received after the late registration deadline will be returned unprocessed regardless of the postmark date. This
may delay your administration date or cause you to incur additional registration fees.
Before you register. Before you register, please review the Registration Checklist to ensure that you have
all of the information you need to complete the registration process. Because of laws protecting confidentiality
and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test.
If you wish to request alternative testing arrangements, please submit your request and any required documentation
by mail with your registration form, or fax it separately, before the regular registration deadline.
See Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements for information about how to complete and submit the
Alternative Testing Arrangements Request Form.
How to register. To register, complete the registration form by following the instructions listed on the form.
The registration form can be ordered
on the New Mexico Teacher Assessments Web site by selecting Print Bulletin and Forms (PDF).
Enter your name as it appears on your government-issued identification. The registration form is processed by
computer; therefore, a photocopied or faxed registration form will not be accepted. After you have provided
and checked all the information on the registration form and then signed the form, mail it along with the correct
payment in the envelope provided (see Procedures for U.S. Mail Registration below). See Test Dates
for the registration deadlines and score report date associated with each test date.
If you are concerned that you may be mailing your registration
materials too close to the late registration deadline,
you may choose to use an expedited delivery service to
ensure that they arrive at Evaluation Systems on time. Contact your U.S.
post office or another overnight delivery service for
information about the best method for sending your registration
materials to ensure on-time delivery to Evaluation Systems. The overnight
mailing address is:
New Mexico Teacher Assessments
Evaluation Systems
Pearson
300 Venture Way
Hadley, MA 01035
Telephone: (413) 256-2884
Payment. Payment must be made at the
time of registration by cashiers check or money order.
An additional fee applies for late registration. See Test
Fees and Payment Policies for complete information
about registration fees and payment policies.
Confirmation. You will receive your
admission ticket by U.S. mail after you have been assigned
to a specific test site. If you have not received your
admission ticket one week before the late registration
deadline, contact Evaluation Systems.
Notice of Error in Registration
If your registration form is incomplete or illegible or
if the correct payment is not enclosed, your registration
materials will be returned to you unprocessed with a letter
advising you of the error and the deadline by which your
corrected materials must be received in order for you
to be registered for the administration. This may result
in additional registration fees or a delay in your test
date, as no corrected registration materials will be accepted
after the late registration deadline. If you receive your
unprocessed registration materials after the late registration
deadline, you may still be able to register during the
emergency registration period. However, all emergency
registration rules, including the registration options
and fees, will apply.
