Open-book reference materials: We will provide each test-taker with a copy of 20 CFR Ch. III (most recent edition), and the Compilation of the Social Security Laws, Volume 1 (most recent edition). We may provide additional materials; if so, we will provide details about the materials on the contractor’s Web site. Applicants will not be permitted to bring any other items (including reference materials) to the examination center. An applicant who fails to achieve a passing score may re-apply to participate in the demonstration project during a subsequent application period.
