Testing Procedures
Pearson Vue testing will be
the only means of testing in Nevada. This will add
an additional $100 fee for the applicant.
Our
current Pearson Vue procedures are:
Applications for Pearson Vue testing must be made in writing to the
NV REHS Board and must include a check for $100
if not paid
for on initial application. Those persons who paid $80 for Laser
Grade as part of their initial application fee pay only an
additional $20.00.
Each additional request
to take the exam requires additional payment of $125 exam fee and
the $100 Pearson Vue fee, for a total of $225 for each exam.
Once in receipt of an exam request, the Board will order a testing
voucher for the applicant.
Once the testing voucher is received by the applicant, the applicant
will need to set up an account with Pearson Vue to set up an
appointment for an exam.
Click
"Schedule test", then select "Create new web account".
The exam results will be sent to the applicant following the receipt
of the official results by the Board.
