LOMA’s Internet-based system for providing computerized
exams. I*STAR testing is available to students at companies
that have installed this testing system.

your exam. Testing periods are: January–March, April–June,
July–September, and October–December.
Important Information About I*STAR Enrollments, Fees,

•If you do not sit for your exam before the end of the
selected testing period, your enrollment expires and
all exam fees are forfeited unless you purchase a fee
transfer.

exams unless you purchase a fee transfer.
•Your LOMANET ID and password will be required at the
