Once the Test Payment Form is received with a copy of ADRA’s approval email and the payment, LASACT will enter this information into the SMT Testing site.  Almost immediately SMT will generate an email to the candidate with instructions on how to proceed with selecting a testing date, time, and location to test.

After completing testing, when do I receive my results?

Testing results are generated immediately upon completion of the test.  The candidate leaves with a score verification letter and will also receive a domain breakdown letter a couple of days after testing.

What is the process if an unfavorable score is received?
