Types of Testing we offer

Academic Make-up exams, accommodations, CLEP, Placement Testing, testing for outside institutions, and online course exams. Western students can schedule an exam online at: Book an Appointment. Testers who are not western students can book an appointment by emailing testproctor@westernwyoming.edu 

Placement Testing

The McCann and ALEKS placement tests are designed to determine the students' level of ability - they are not pass/fail tests. The tests allow Western's academic advisors to place students in courses that are best suited to a student's current skill level. In some cases, developmental courses are required before a student may enter college-level courses. All new students who do not have ACT scores are required to take the McCann and ALEKS placement tests prior to registering for courses. Please email testproctor@westernwyoming.edu to schedule a placement exam.

CLEP

CLEP is a national program of credit by examination that offers students the opportunity to obtain recognition for college level achievement. Testing is scheduled on an individual basis and can be done by emailing testproctor@westernwyoming.edu or through our online scheduling software by clicking here: Book an Appointment 

Each test must be purchased at clep.collegeboard.org prior to taking the test. Students must present their CLEP voucher number when they arrive to take their test, along with a valid form of photo ID. Some CLEP scores are instant and testers will receive a print out of their final score once they have completed the exam. Other CLEP scores that require an essay will take around three weeks to arrive. Scores can either be sent to another institution or applied to a Western transcript.
