*Once the test has been sent, the applicant has 90 days to return his/her answers. If the test is not returned within that time frame, it will be considered as the first failed attempt.
*If the applicant fails the test the first time, he/she must wait 180 days to contact [[Mary RhoadesJohn Robertson]] for permission to retake the test.*If the applicant fails the test the second time, he cannot retake the test for a year. He must pay again for the test at that time and contact [[Mary RhoadesJohn Robertson]] for permission to retake the test.
The test can be taken in two ways:
*By email: The test can be ordered by [[Payment|paying]] the $25 USD fee online and emailing [[John Robertson]] and [[Mary Rhoades]]. When paying online, state in the Note section what the payment is for so John can get confirmation of the payment. It can be taken at your leisure, within a 90-day window, emailing back to John for grading and upon a passing grade, the prospective director will move to the next step. The email test will cost $25 USD.*By postal mail: The mail-in test costs $35 USD, a slightly higher fee to pay for manual processing. Either [[Payment|pay]] for the test online or mail the payment, payable to NASPA, to [[Mary RhoadesJohn Robertson]]. The test will be sent to you by postal mail and you can send the test back in the same way.
