2024 Spring Test Dates

March 16-17

 

FPC typically receives many more applications for testing than the testing schedule allows. Applications are accepted on a “first come” basis using the application acceptance schedule. Once the testing slots are filled, any remaining applications will be placed on a “wait list”.

 

Your test Entry form must be completed with payment in full before the application will be considered. Please review our testing policies below for more details.

  • Test entries are first come first serve.
  • The membership will be notified via e-mail or similar means before tests are made available for sale. This notice must include the date when test slots will be made available for purchase.
  • Test slots need to be purchased for each individual test through the Chapter’s online store.
  • Test payments are due in full at the time of purchase.
  • Test registration forms will be completed and required during the purchase of a test slot via the online store.
  • Test entries are not considered complete until all required fields on the test registration form are completely filled out with accurate information.
