Check the accuracy of your name: The same version of your name must appear on your application, this Notice to Schedule (NTS), and on the identification (ID) you present at the testing center. If your name on this Notice is not correct, contact your state board of accountancy or its designee at least 10 days before your test appointment.
Schedule your exam: We recommend you schedule your exam within 5-7 days of receipt of this Notice. Use the online scheduler at www.prometric.com/cpa, or call the Customer Service Call Center at 800-580-9648. Schedule at least 45 days in advance to have the best opportunity to get the date and location you want. If you have received your NTS by email or fax, you must wait 24 hours after its receipt before scheduling.
Take the Exam Tutorial and Sample Test at www.cpa-exam.org to review features unique to this exam. Effective April 1, 2006, the simulations on the Uniform CPA Examination will be upgraded. Candidates are encouraged to review the tutorial to become familiar with the new functionality of the examination.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
• Take this NTS, along with two forms of identification, to the test center. You will not be allowed to take the exam if you do not have this NTS and acceptable identification (ID) with you!
• See page 2 of this NTS or the Candidate Bulletin for a list of acceptable primary and secondary IDs.
• Arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes before your appointment. A digital photo will be taken as part of the check-in procedures. Late arrivals may not be able to take the exam.
• Be aware that once you enter your password to start the exam, you have limited time to read and respond to the introductory screens. If that time is exceeded, the exam will automatically terminate and it will not be possible to restart the exam. While there is adequate time to review the screens and respond, there is NOT enough time to take notes, leave the testing room or do anything other than proceed to the first testlet and begin the exam.
• Review the list of Prohibited Items on page 2 of this NTS. None of the items listed will be permitted into the testing room.
• During the exam you may only take a break during scheduled break times (i.e., from the time you end one examination section testlet until you begin the next testlet). The exam clock continues to run during breaks.
