Step 2: Chat with one of our Testing Consultants at 800-542-1066 or online if you are still unsure of what to order. They will be glad to answer any questions you may have about the tests, test prep products, or the testing policies. They can also help you place your order over the phone.

Step 3: Order online 3 weeks to 5 months before your desired test date at the product pages for the IOWACAT, or TerraNova/CAT 6.
Test prep products on your order are usually shipped within 1 business day while the actual test is usually shipped about 10 days before the beginning week you select at check-out and usually arrives 4-8 business days after shipping.
