Assessment Computer Lab Drop-In Testing Hours
DROP-IN COMPUTER LAB TESTING SCHEDULE
Testing for Spring 2012 has ended.
Summer and Fall 2012 testing will begin in April. Check in March for Summer/Fall monthly
testing schedule.
You should complete Assessment as soon as is reasonably possible based on your schedule
and test availability. In order to have access to the best choice of classes most
students test in the few months leading up to the beginning of a semester. Students may test
only once per testing period, so it is important that you are ready on the day you choose to test. Before testing, be sure to complete the steps on the
REAP Test Preparation form.
Testing hours vary. Consult the monthly Drop-In Computer Lab Testing Schedule below and plan to test on a scheduled testing
day. All tests must be completed by closing: allow 2 hours for English and 1-2 hours
for math. Out-of-Area Students who wish to complete Assessment and in-person Academic
Advising in one trip over a two- or three-day period should consult the list of suggested
test and advising dates for Out-of-Area Students.
