California Supplemental Examination (CSE)

Scheduling Procedures

Candidates should visit the PSI site to easily schedule your CSE examination. Candidates can schedule an examination at a location of their choice during normal working hours of 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Monday–Friday, and operating hours on Saturday, except state holidays. However, candidates cannot schedule their CSE with PSI until they are determined to be eligible by the Board.

The CSE is administered at PSI examination sites in California and out-of-state. The CSE Candidate Guide (PDF, 191K) provides PSI-specific information and procedures (i.e., scheduling an examination by telephone or online, reporting to the examination site, acceptable forms of identification, etc.).

Required Identification at the Examination Site

A candidate must provide one of the following valid and current forms of government issued identification with photograph in order to test:

  • Drivers license issued by a state, territory, or province of the US or Canada
  • Identification card issued by a state, territory, or province of the US or Canada
  • US military identification card
  • US or Canada passport book
  • US passport card
