Testing Center at Montana Tech

Welcome to the Testing Center!

The Testing Center provides testing services to support the academic and professional goals of students and the community. We provide an environment that is equitable and secure so each student has the opportunity to demonstrate their ability and obtain valid results.

We adhere to the Professional Standards and Guidelines set by the National College Testing Association (NCTA). All testers must stow their belongings, including any cell phone or other electronics, before entering an exam room.

Before You Arrive

  • Don't forget to bring payment for the proctor fee ($25 unless previously discussed) and your Montana Tech or high school student ID.
  • Don't know which placement assessment to take? Did you take the SAT or ACT in high school? Do you have prior credit from another college or university to transfer over? View our assessment score chart to see what placement assessment you'll need or if you can bypass the placement assessment altogether!
  • Review the Placement Assessment F.A.Qs for the Writing and Math departments.
  • Try some practice questions to prepare yourself for the College Success placement assessments
