Interested in taking the COS-C exam but not able to attend a Paper & Pencil administration? Computer-Based Testing (CBT) is an easy choice.
CBT candidates sit for the same COS-C exam as P&P exam participants. After registering for the exam, you’ll be invited to select a time and location that’s convenient for you.
CBT exams cost $345 for initial testing and $295 for renewal testing. If it has been more than three years since your last exam, your COS-C designation has lapsed and you will need to pay the initial testing rate.
You can schedule your CBT exam at one of over 300 testing centers around the country. Each assessment center is a certified PSI Services testing facility that adheres to the highest administration standards.
Please watch this 3-minute videoᅠfor a quick overview of what to expect during a PSI test center exam session.
If you are unable to test at your originally scheduled appointment time, you may reschedule the exam for free one time, at least two business days before the exam date.
1. Register on our website OR download a Registration Form and mail/fax it to OASIS Answers. Your name on the exam registration must match your government-issued ID.
2. Wait 3-5 business days for our partner, PSI Services, to process your registration. You will then receive an eligibility confirmation email from PSI with instructions to schedule the exam. After that, visit https://schedule.psiexams.com/ or call 1-833-333-4755 to schedule your exam appointment.
Once you are registered for a CBT, you have twelve months to schedule and take the exam. Please review the Candidate Handbook before testing. Good luck on the exam!
