testing services for the campus
and community.
Welcome to the Office of Testing Services
The Office of Testing Services is a unit within Appalachian's University College. University College consists of the university's integrated general education curriculum, academic support services, residential learning communities, interdisciplinary degree programs and co-curricular programming - all designed to support the work of students both inside and outside of the classroom.

The mission of the Office of Testing Services is to provide high quality testing and assessment services that observe the National College Testing Association (NCTA) professional testing standards and guidelines in order to successfully meet the growing needs of our students, faculty, administration and community.
Testing Services provides a Computer Based Testing Center in the John Thomas Student Support Building for the administration of national entrance/certification exams. We also administer nationally scheduled paper and pencil exams such as LSAT, PRAXIS II, GRE Subject Tests, and National Counselors Exam on Saturdays throughout the year in either Katherine Harper Hall or Anne Belk Hall (academic classroom buildings). Please check the calendar for test dates and locations.
We subscribe to the National College Testing Association Professional Standards and Guidelines. We are a member of the Consortium of College Testing Centers, supporting distance learning.
The next PRAXIS II, Subject Area Assessments paper and pencil exams, will be administered here on campus on Saturday, January 14, 2012 in Anne Belk Hall. The other testing dates for the upcoming schoool year here on campus are April 28, June 9 and July 21. Some of the Praxis II tests are going to be delivered via computer in the upcoming year. Please check the Praxis website for updates at http://www.ets.org/pra...ister/computer/ as to which tests will be delivered via paper and pencil or computer or both and what dates they will be available.
