Taking Your Skills Test Center Exam in Person

Checking in

  • You must arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time for BOTH the written examination (if offered at a test site) and for the skills evaluation. If you are late you will not be allowed to test and your fees will not be refunded.
  • Skills Evaluation test times are approximate.
NOTE: You will need to check in for both the written examination and the skills evaluation if both are scheduled for the same day.

You should have the following list of items below for the skill exam.

  • Two (2) forms of official (current, not expired), legible, signature-bearing identification, one of which must be photo identification.
  • Three (3) No. 2 pencils (sharpened) 
  • Eraser 
  • Analog watch with a sweeping seconds hand (not a digital or Smartwatch). No other materials will be allowed.

ID Card Requirements

You are required to bring two forms of legal photo identification that include your signature when reporting to take the examination.

You are required to have two (2) forms of official ID with a signature (one must be a photo identification).

You can use any of the list of identifications below:

  • Driver’s license 
  • Social Security card

  • Credit card
  • Library card 
  • State-issued identification card

Note: A driver’s license or state-issued ID card that has been voided (has a hole punched in it) is only valid if accompanied by a letter issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) advising your new license is being issued to you via USPS mail). If you do not have a letter issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, the voided ID is invalid and will not be accepted as a valid form of ID.

No other materials will be allowed. You should have the above items with you on the day of testing. If you do not bring the above items with you on the day of testing, you will not be allowed to test, and your examination fee will not be returned.

Security And Cheating

If you help or receive help from anyone during the NNAAP® Examination, the examination will be stopped. The incident will be reported to the Alaska Board of Nursing for review and your examination will not be scored (see Testing Policies).
