Testing Services
Test taking is very much a part of
student life on a university campus.
The overall goal of the Office of
Testing Services is to provide
students and the university with
information that will help those
involved make sound academic
decisions. Towards that end, the
office coordinates and administers 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.
Also available, on a referral basis
from academic or career counselors,
are several tests designed to measure
career interests and personality
characteristics. In addition, the
professional staff has expertise in
areas of student growth and attribute
measurement, program assessment
and evaluation, and computer-based
analysis of student and faculty
surveys.
Testing Services includes a Com-puter-
based Testing (CBT) center,
open Tuesday through Friday and
some Saturdays. Anyone needing the
Graduate Record Exam (GRE),
Graduate Management Admissions
Test (GMAT), Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL), or
PRAXIS, may call or come in for an
appointment to take these tests.
Undergraduate Entrance
Examinations

to California State University
may require scores from the Scholas-tic
Aptitude Test (SAT) or American
College Testing (ACT) Program.
Though these tests are not routinely
administered on this campus at this
time, staff members have informa-tion
about dates and places for them.

Language (TOEFL) is usually re-quired
for international students
seeking admittance to our univer-sity.

on computer in our Computer-based

Undergraduate Required Tests
• The English Placement Test (EPT)
and Entry Level Mathematics (ELM)

students may choose to meet the
Upper-Division Writing require-ment
