Exams are offered throughout the year at both the IU South Bend campus and at the Elkhart Center. Placement exams are occasionally offered at Plymouth High School.

The placement exams feature computerized math and English exams (the reading exam is done with paper and pencil). The advantages of the computerized exam are as follows:

  • A computerized math exam where you point and click to answer questions as opposed to filling in bubbles on a scantron sheet
  • Instant results on the math exam
  • The option to type or handwrite the English exam essay
  • The ability to begin the English exam immediately upon completion of the math exam (see * note below)
For all dates and times, space is limited and reservations are required. If you require special accommodations to take the exams (such as extended time), you must first contact the Office of Disability Support Services at (574) 520-4832 prior to taking the exams.

There is no charge to take the exams. Bring #2 pencils, a ball-point pen, a calculator, and photo identification. If you know your 10-digit student ID number, please bring that also. Arrive ten minutes early. Late arrivals are not seated.
