Placement Testing at UW-Stevens Point

Why Placement Testing Matters

Placement testing ensures you start in the right classes from day one. By assessing your current skill level, it sets you up for success and helps prevent being over- or under-placed in your courses.

Timing Reminder:
Placement tests must be completed at least two weeks before your Academic Advising appointment to ensure your scores are received on time. If you have not scheduled your advising appointment yet, log into your Admitted Student Portal to do that at your earliest convenience.

**For the smoothest process, use a computer not your mobile phone when registering and completing the placement tests.

Registration Process

1. Register Your Account

Use your UWSP email when signing up and be sure to send your results to your specific UWSP campus.

If you used your high school email, contact the Regional Testing Office at 608-262-5863 or frontdesk@exams.wisc.edu to change your email.

2. Verify Your Email

You will receive a message from the Regional Testing Office with a verification code. Enter the code to complete registration.

After verifying your email, you’ll get another message from Meazure Learning with your username and password. Typically, this arrives within an hour. Be sure to check your junk/spam folder if you don't see it.

Contact the Office of Admissions with exemption questions: 715-346-2441 or admiss@uwsp.edu.

Exams are available on-demand. You do not need to complete all tests in one sitting.

You will have:

90 minutes for Math

Having trouble accessing the placement tests?

We’ve had several students let us know they are experiencing access issues with Meazure Learning and the Regional Testing Office. Our team is actively working with both companies to try to resolve these system problems as quickly as possible.

Contact information if you want to reach out directly:
Meazure Learning - 855-772-8678 or chat with them
Regional Testing Office - 608-262-5863 or frontdesk@exams.wisc.edu

Try following these troubleshooting steps:

Make sure you are registering for the placement exams using your UWSP email address
Check both your inbox and spam/junk folders for emails from the Regional Testing Site and Meazure Learning, especially any verification emails
If you have not already, contact the Regional Testing Office directly at 608-262-5863, as they manage the testing platform and account access
Try using a laptop or desktop computer instead of a phone
Try accessing the system using a different web browser

At this time, we do not recommend rescheduling your academic advising appointment over this issue. Even if your placement exams are not yet completed by your appointment time, your adviser can still begin building your class schedule and help move your registration process forward.
