These services include Accuplacer placement testing, ACT National and ACT Residual testing, a variety of extra institutional testing (including CLEP and DSST), GED, some FAA exams, proctored exams for Western students, and proctored exams for students enrolled in courses from other institutions. Accuplacer placement exams and proctored Western exams are adminisitered on a walk-in basis. CLEP, DSST, ACT Residual, GED, FAA, and proctored exams from other institutions require an appointment.

Photo identification is MANDATORY for ALL testers.
 
 
Western Oklahoma State College migrated to ACCUPLACER placement testing December 2016. If you have COMPASS placement scores and wish to enroll, those COMPASS scores will only be valid through May 2017. After that date, you will need to take ACCUPLACER placement exams before enrolling in English, Math, or Science courses.
