Applying for the NASCLA Exam
NASCLA requires candidates to acquire pre-approval before scheduling their exam at a PSI Testing Center. You can find the application here at ned.nascla.org.
NASCLA usually processes these applications in about a week. Once you receive approval, you may register and schedule an exam on PSI's website.
Books Included
Books for the NASCLA Exam
You may bring the books listed here into the exam with you. Exam references may be highlighted, underlined, and tabbed with permanent adhesive tabs. You may not write in the book or use tabs such as post-its that may be removed. You can purchase our permanent, pre-printed tabs for the NASCLA Exam book bundle here.
Don't have time to tab and highlight your own books? We also offer Exam-Ready pre-tabbed and highlighted book bundles!
Additional Exam Prep Materials
The reference manuals that are allowed into the exam may be tabbed and highlighted using permanent adhesive tabs (removable tabs such as post-its are not allowed in the examination center.) We sell permanent tabs for the NASCLA exam book bundle here.
