Which portfolio system should I use more information

Retake Guidelines

  • In one registration you may select either to retake an entire assessment or to retake any combination of tasks.
  • You may not reregister for an assessment for which you are already registered, or for which you have submitted and are awaiting scores.
  • You may not be simultaneously registered for more than one retake for the same assessment.
