Foundations of Reading Exam

To participate, select code 890 when registering.

After three unsuccessful attempts testing with test code 890, your account will automatically waive the fee for the fourth registration. While we hope that you are successful before this attempt, do not miss the chance for this free test. Previous unsuccessful attempts with test code 190 do not count toward the free-after-three. There is no difference in the test — only the chance to participate in free-after-three.
