Register for the CAECS-F
Identify a Proctor
Before you register for the CAECS-F, you must identify someone to act as a proctor for your test. The materials that you (the candidate) will need in order to complete the test will be sent to your chosen proctor, who must keep all materials secure. He/she will work with you to schedule a time for testing and make sure to have the necessary equipment ready. The proctor will be given instructions to go over with you prior to testing.
Your proctor cannot be a family member or a member of your household. The proctor does not need to know how to cue. In fact, it is may be better if your proctor is not a cuer at all since they will not be allowed in the future to take the version of the test they proctored for you. Once you have worked out who your proctor will be, gather his/her contact information. You will need this in order to register for the CAECS-E.

The Cued American English Competency Screening-Fluency (CAECS-F ©2024, TECUnit) aims to identify a candidate’s fastest expressive cueing fluency rate (between 1.5sps and 5.0sps) where the candidate maintains accuracy >70%. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to cue a verbatim message accurately as it gradually increases in rate of delivery. Transliterator skills like identifying speaker characteristics and matching the speaker’s pronunciation are not evaluated. Feedback on cueing accuracy and clarity across rates is provided. Standard rating typically evaluates three to four sections to identify the candidate's fluency rate. Comprehensive rating at an additional cost is available to have all sections rated with feedback.
You may pay the application fee using our online system or pay by check. Standard rating to identify expressive fluency is $95. Comprehensive rating of all sections is available at the additional cost of $250.
