Licensing Exams & Preparation

If you have already passed the ILE, some licensing agencies will allow you to bypass taking the ILE again if official proof is provided of your previous passing result. This only applies in jurisdictions that use the ILE as their licensing exam. Check with the licensing agency to verify their process. If your licensing agency will allow you to bypass re-taking the ILE, then you will need to follow steps to request a Score Transfer. Learn more here.

It varies based on the jurisdiction, but most candidates will receive their results via email immediately after the test. Learn more here.

Yes, when going to the testing center for your exam appointment, you will need to bring a valid, physical, unexpired photo ID – the name on your ID must match exactly the name on your test-taker web account. If your name has changed recently, it is strongly recommended that you call IHS to confirm the name on your test-taker account prior to your exam. You will also need to bring your Registration Confirmation email, either printed or on your phone. Phones must be stored in your car or the secure storing area provided by the testing center after presenting the confirmation email. If you don’t have the email, check your spam/junk folder. Call IHS if you cannot locate it.  Arrive early, giving yourself plenty of time to park and figure out where you’re going. If you arrive late, you may not be permitted to take the exam. You cannot bring personal possessions. Any testing aids (calculator, scratch paper, etc.) are not permitted in the testing center. Most testing centers have a secure area for storing your essential items (i.e., car keys) during your test.

You must adhere to IHS’ standards of conduct during the exam as well as any instructions or directives from testing center staff. Refer to the Standards of Conduct as listed here.
