Testing Services
Test taking is very much a part of
student life on a university campus.
The overall goal of the Offi ce of Test-ing
Services is to provide students and
the university with information that
will help those involved make sound
academic decisions. Towards that end,
the offi ce coordinates and adminis-ters
a wide variety of standardized
tests as well as maintains a supply
of bulletins for them. These include
tests used for admission to colleges,
universities, and professional schools;
tests for proper placement in English
and math classes; tests that assess the
writing skills required of graduates of
this university; and tests that assess
preparation and potential for success
in graduate schools and programs.
Testing Services includes a Comput-er-
based Testing (CBT) center, open
Tuesday through Saturday. Anyone
needing the Graduate Record Exam
(GRE), Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), PRAXIS, or Na-tional
Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS) may call or come
in for information on how to take
these tests.
