Planning Your RICA Test Registration

How you register for the RICA Written Exam can significantly affect your testing experience, so it is important you choose the testing scenario that suits you best. Computer-based testing is administered at a testing center while online-proctored testing is delivered remotely under the supervision of an online proctor. While it might initially seem an advantage to take the test from your home or workplace rather than traveling to a testing center, there are several factors to consider.

When you register for computer-based testing, you may choose to take the subtests at separate times or in a single session. With online-proctored testing, the subtests are administered as three independent sections which you must register for separately. Be aware that with computer-based testing, you may take restroom breaks, which are considered as part of your testing time. With online-proctored testing, however, you cannot take any breaks.

Another key difference is how you get your results. If you take the computer-based test, you will get a receipt of completion at the end of your test then will receive your final test results within 4 weeks. With online-proctoring, you won't receive a receipt of completion when your test ends. While results are generally available within 3 weeks of testing, the testing service notes that score reports may be delayed for up to 2 weeks, meaning that the turnaround will not necessarily be quicker than if you took the test at a testing center.

Before you register for your exam, read our free RICA Study Guide to learn more about the content. We also recommend timing yourself on a RICA Practice Test to determine your pace for each subtest. This will help you decide which testing scenario is right for you.
