  4. A page will load for the exam you're interested in.
  5. On the right hand side of the page, there will be three navy blue tabs. Go to the second tab, "Test Selections," then click on "Test Centers."
  6. Finally, at the top, in the second box, it will ask "Please select a State." Select the state from the dropdown. All of the available cities for testing in that state will load. There will also be directions to the site.

    - Special test sites can be established at any healthcare facility outside the U.S. for paper/pencil exams.

**Note: Our testing agency, PSI, often uses airports and schools for administering our exams, so don't be surprised if the closest test site near you is one of those. They are given in secure offices with computer stations and trained proctors to assist you on exam day.
