About Us

The Testing Center, a part of the Center for Teaching and Learning, houses one of the largest college testing facilities in the United States. The main purpose of the Testing Center is to provide classroom testing for the University. It has the facilities to provide test proctoring service for both paper-based and some computer-based tests.

Classroom Testing

The majority of tests given in the Testing Center are classroom tests. These are tests that would usually be administered in the classroom during the normal course of a semester or term.

The Testing Center allows BYU Faculty and Staff to administer their tests in the Testing Center instead of the classroom. This provides the following advantages:

  • Tests do not take up valuable lecture time.
  • Students can take longer than a class period though tests should be written so most students could finish within one hour.
  • Tests can be available to the students for a longer period of time (usually 3 days). This provides greater flexibility to the students allowing them to take the test at more convenient times.

Facilities

The Testing Center has a total capacity of 600 seats. Testing spaces are opened as needed.

  • Main Testing Rooms, 2nd floor
  • Upstairs Overflow, 3rd floor
  • Downstairs Overflow, 1st floor
  • Accessibility Testing Area, 1st floor
