Welcome to The VSU office of testing
The Office of Testing is responsible for standardized tests given in specific areas to entering students for the purposes of admission and placement, to undergraduate students for proficiency, to graduate students for admission to specialized programs, and to various professionals for certification purposes.
The Office of Testing is dedicated to administering professional testing services to Valdosta State University and surrounding communities while upholding test security standards.
The mission of the Office of Testing is to promote and maintain an atmosphere conducive to providing a constructive testing environment when administering standardized tests. Further, our mission is to consistently strive to assist and provide accommodations needed for group and individual settings when administering placement, proficiency, undergraduate and graduate admissions, degree credit by examination, and certification tests.
The yearly testing calendar is coordinated with Valdosta State University's school calendar and with the University System of Georgia and National testing dates. It is recommended that prospective registrants check with the Colleges or Universities of their choice to find out the required test needed for admission and the deadline for score submission.
As a designated national test center, the Office of Testing administers testing programs for the Educational Testing Service, The Psychological Corporation, the Law School Admissions Council, the American College Testing Program, Pearson Vue, the Psychological Services Bureau, and the University System of Georgia as well as for other educational and governmental agencies. Valdosta State University has been a member of the College Board since 1961. The Office of Testing is also a member of the Consortium of College Testing Centers (CCTC), a pioneering effort to support distance learning with remote test administrations.
The Miller's Analogies Test, CLEP, COMPASS, DANTES, Health Occupations Aptitude Exam, Georgia History & Constitution Exams, and ACT Residual are given on a daily basis. Please call the Office of Testing for information on available hours, fees, and other tests that may be available.
The Office of Testing schedules testing appointments:

Friday: 8:00AM to 12:00PM.
***Please note that most tests last from one to three hours and
