If unsure about a test center's status, which resource should a candidate consult?

• A. Contact NCARB support.
• B. Refer to PSI's Test Center Openings page.
• C. Wait until the day of the exam.
• D. Refer to the candidate handbook.

Answer: (B)

When you’re uncertain about a test center’s status, the most reliable step is to check the PSI Test Center Openings page. PSI administers the ARE test centers, so that page provides real-time information on which locations are open, temporarily closed, or have available appointment slots. It gives you concrete, location-specific status before you travel or commit to a center, helping you avoid closures or missed opportunities.

The candidate handbook is useful for rules, procedures, and general guidance, but it doesn’t show current center status. NCARB support can help with account or policy questions, but it isn’t the go-to source for live center availability. Waiting until the exam day is risky because statuses can change, and you might find no openings or have to scramble to find an alternative location.
