ETS TEST: HOW TO GET REGISTERED

COMPLETING YOUR REGISTRATION FORM - general

1. NAME

In the boxes, be sure to write your Family Name (прізвище) first, and then your First (or given) Name.

If your Patronymic (по батьковi) does not fit - DON’T WORRY.

If your whole First Name does not fit - DON’T WORRY. Complete as much of it as you can.

2. ADDRESS

The address you write on the form is needed so that your admission ticket can be sent to you; i.e.: The Ukrainian postal service must be able to read and understand your address - NOT ETS.

DO NOT translate the name of you street. (Do not write PEACE instead of Миру - write: MYRU.)

DO NOT USE THE WORDS: Street, Avenue, Boulevard!!! Use the abbreviations of the Ukrainian words: vul., prkt., blvd. - in English letters.

DO NOT USE THE WORD APARTMENT!!! Use kv. (kvartyra) or km. (kimnata).

So, for example the EIC address would be written: vul Melnykova, 63, km 1.

3. DATES

All dates should be written in the US system: MONTH/DAY/YEAR.

When completing any boxes or circles, be sure to place a “0” before a single digit: January 1, 2004 = 01/01/04.

4. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Some registration forms ask for a Social Security Number. YOU MAY HAVE SUCH A NUMBER IF YOU ARE A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THE US. If you ARE NOT a permanent resident of the US you do not have one!!!

For the GRE and GMAT you should compete information according to your passport, including number - if you have an international passport, complete information according to this passport.

PAPER and PENCIL TEST REGISTRATION

1. TEST CENTER CODES

The TESTCENTER is the city and place you wish to take the test in. The CODE for the TestCenter is written in the Bulletin.

FIRST CHOICE: you should complete the code of the place that you MOST WANT to take the test in.

SECOND CHOICE: complete the code of the place that you will be able to test in IF THE FIRST CHOICE has no more room. If you want only to take the test in your FIRST CHOICE, then do not complete the SECOND CHOICE option.

2. TEST DATE

Under test date, on some of the registration forms, there will be a question about whether you are willing to take the test on another date if they can not register you on the date you have requested. You should be sure that the next available date is not TOO LATE for you if you are answering yes. Also, if you are registering for a Saturday TOEFL, and list yes to next available FRIDAY test, or the opposite, remember that the cost is different.

3. DEADLINES

Be aware of DEADLINES, which are listed in, or on the front cover of, the registration bulletins. Your registration form must be at CITO or ETS BEFORE that date. It is usually best to send your registration at LEAST ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE OF THAT DATE!!!!

COMPUTER BASED TEST REGISTRATION

GRE, TOEFL, GMAT

If you have a credit card, or know someone who does and is willing to pay for it, you may register through Fax or Phone.

If you do not have a credit card, you must pay by a check made payable to ETS-TOEFL (or GRE) issued by the US bank.

Complete the Request for Voucher Form located inside the envelope with NO ADDRESS in the middle of the bulletin and send it to CITO in the Netherlands along with the Mail/Fax registration form located in the center of the bulletin.
