Registering For and Taking Placement Exams

ONLINE EXAMS FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

UW-Eau Claire - Barron County will host online placement exams in Math (Test A), English, and Languages (French, German, Spanish) for students who are admitted for the Fall 2024/Spring 2025 semesters. Registration for all online exams is currently available at the Center for Placement Testing website.

Math and English exams are required of all students regardless of prior coursework, and if you've taken two or more years of French, German or Spanish (see below for information on additional languages), that exam is highly recommended. You will be taking the tests online, unproctored, and at your own convenience. It is crucial that you complete your exams before your advising + registration appointment during orientation.

IMPORTANT: Regarding the math exam:

• Be sure to sign up for 'Test A' (the online option): You will have options to choose from Test A or Test B when registering. Be sure to choose Test A for UW-Eau Claire - Barron County when selecting your Math exam. 
• Math placement is based on a combination of your test scores and other measures of your math readiness (including High School GPA, Math ACT score if submitted etc.)
• We can best support your success in math if you are placed into the correct class. That is why it is vital that all students do their own work and do their best work on placement exams. When this is not the case, students may be "mis-placed" which can lead to the need to change math classes during the semester or to unnecessary difficulty in successfully completing a math class.

Special Accommodations - do not register online: If you request to take the placement tests under non-standard conditions due to a disability, please do not sign up online. Instead, go to UW Center for Placement Testing Accommodations site and follow the instructions to begin the accommodation process.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have also been admitted to or are considering another UW System institution, please check that specific campus website for test recommendations, as they could differ slightly. If you do not have access to a computer/internet, accommodations can be made for paper/pencil testing on campus - email swearisa@uwec.edu to request.

ONLINE EXAMS PROCESS

You can register for online exams at the Center for Placement Testing website. Reminder: our online exams are not proctored. 

Once in the site, you will need to log in with your UWECBC campus credentials to complete the registration form before taking the exam. Within two business days of registering (but more likely within a few minutes), you will receive an email from Meazure Learning with a username and password for accessing the exams. If you haven't received your email in two days, be sure to check your junk/spam email folder before contacting the Center for Placement Testing for support.

• To take the exam, your web browser must be able to accept cookies, JavaScript, and pop-up windows. We recommend you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser. If you leave or log out of an exam before finishing, you may log back in and the system will remember how much time was remaining.
• Upon completing an exam, you must submit it in order for us to receive your scores. If you forget to submit your exam, you should be able to log back into the system to submit.

Please note: It takes around two weeks for tests to be scored and sent to UW-Eau Claire - Barron County, therefore we highly recommend that you take them as soon as you can.

If you have questions regarding placement testing, please contact Sara Potter at pottersk@uwec.edu.

First-year students: After graduation submit an official high school transcript for a review of your senior grades and proof of graduation.

First-year and transfer students: To gain college credit for any college coursework taken, send a final official transcript from the college/university you took the course(s) through.
