Test Information - Military Information

Military applicants stationed overseas may request to test through their base education officer, rather than at one of the established testing centers.

The base education center can administer a web based exam under the following conditions: if the applicant is stationed outside the United States; if an instructor is testing a group of applicants; if an applicant is testing at sea or if the military post is more than 100 miles from a testing center. NBSTSA will mail the test results directly to the testing candidates within six weeks.

To request a special test center, military applicants must first receive their letter of approval to test from the NBSTSA. Applicants must contact NBSTSA requesting administration through the base education center. The letter must include the base name, geographic location (base and country), the testing officer’s name, mailing address and phone number.
