If you try to register for the test on the CPS website, you will likely see a message saying “zero spaces available”. That’s because the State has been really backed up. In fact, if you try to register online, you won’t see an option available for months. That being said, often times 40% of the those registered don’t show up for their test. So if you go to the testing site on that day, you can get on the walk-in list. Here’s the thing: you want to get there EARLY, before 7am. That’s because they have 5 tests throughout the day: 8:30, 10:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 4:30. If you arrive at 8am, you’ll be number 30 or 40 on the walk-in list and you won’t take the test until the afternoon, which is a waste of your whole day. But if you arrive before 7 and you’re number 2 or 3 on the walk-in list, you will likely get in one of the first 2 tests. Check out the schedule below to see the dates and times that work for you. You can try to register, but if your date is full, then plan on getting there early to walk-in!
