What do I need to bring with me?  
You will need some form of picture ID, such as a driver’s license. 计算器 on the computer, so you will not need to bring one.

Can I bring a parent, friend, or other family member?

While they are welcome to visit campus with you, they will not be allowed in the 测试ing area 和 will be asked to wait downstairs in the lobby. Keep in mind that knowing someone is waiting on you to finish can cause you to unnecessarily rush through your 测试.

How long does it take?
It is not timed, but you should allow about 2 hours.

When will I know the results?
立即! Results are generated automatically when you finish.

May I take the Assessment again?
Yes, you may 测试 as many times as necessary, but there is a $10 fee for each re-测试. Please pay the cashier– bring only the receipt to the computer lab.

Do I have to take both sections?

不总是. You may be exempt from one section, meaning you would only need to take the section for which an exemption does not apply.

What if I’m just not good on the computer? 
没有问题! Can you “point 和 click”? Can you type with at least one finger? 不 worry, the 测试 is untimed.

Remember…Our wish for you is SUCCESS. We are here to help you obtain your goals!
