NASFAA University Testing Center: Important Notices and Disclosures

Please be sure to read the following before purchasing a NASFAA University test.

Purchases 

  • The person taking the test must purchase the test via the online store. You cannot purchase a test for other staff members or colleagues. The test is linked to the purchaser's email address.
  • Each purchase includes two attempts for the purchaser to take the test. If the first attempt is a failure, the test may be repeated.
  • Each subject test can be purchased one time per year. Changing the purchase quantity in the shopping basket will not provide more test attempts for that subject.
  • If both test attempts are failures, you may purchase a re-test from the online store, which will provide two more test attempts. The re-test for each subject can only be purchased one time. The quantity cannot be changed in your shopping cart.

Testing Center 

  • Once you purchase a test, your two test attempts will appear automatically in the testing center.
  • You will need your NASFAA login (email and password) to access the testing center.
  • Most tests will contain a total of 40 questions which includes a scenario-based question near the end of each exam. 
  • Once you begin a test, you have 90 minutes to complete the multiple choice section.
  • The minimum passing score is 85%. 

Test Preparation 

  • NASFAA encourages all test-takers to study the corresponding self-study guide or participate in the corresponding online course prior to taking a test.
  • If you are taking the test based on your experience, you are required to provide a resume showing 5 years of experience prior to taking a test. You will not receive a credential until the resume is provided, even if you pass both parts of the test.
