Testing is straightforward and reasonably priced

You pay only the test and proctoring fee, $155 (or less) per test. Tests carry three to twelve credits. Check the list of available tests and make your testing appointment by selecting an option from Step 3 below. While it’s not required to consult with an academic advisor before deciding on a test and making an appointment, it’s a good idea to check with your advisor and/or the Registrar’s Office to be sure your chosen test will satisfy the desired requirement. Tests are computer-based and are administered at CCV-Winooski. Some remote testing options are now available. Pre-testing practice materials are available from the exam providers to help you test successfully. Most test outcomes are available instantly.

Testing by examination is a good option if you:

  • Are confident you can meet the subject requirements
  • Are enthusiastic about preparing for the test
  • Enjoy testing
  • Want immediate results
