Registration Test

Users are required to take and pass a short test before using E-MACS. You can review E-MACS rules and procedures by reviewing the Frequently Asked Questions, and video demos on the Appellate eFiling tab of the Clerk of Appellate Courts webpage.

The test consists of multiple-choice and true/false questions and should take about 10 minutes to complete. You must answer at least 80% of the questions correctly to pass and you may retake the test as many times as needed until you pass. If necessary, you can log out of E-MACS and log back in later to retake the test.
