Where and when are the exams given?
When you are ready to take the exam(s), check the exam schedule on our web site for dates and locations. The exams are given in each PDA Region at least once a month (you can go to any region to take an exam, not just the one you live or work in.) You need to pre-register in advance for most exam dates. On the day of the exam, make sure you bring the following: • Driver’s License or other government issued Photo Id or 2 non photo ids (one of which is government issued that bears your name and one with your name and address) • #2 pencil and paper • Approved Study Materials (Exam proctors have the right to review all materials and disapprove of materials brought to the exam.) • Check or money order made payable to the “Commonwealth of PA”. Core exam is $50, and each category exam is $10. There is no charge for the private applicator exam. • Business license numbers if business is currently licensed. After you take the exam, you will receive your results or an application by mail with you
