Testing

All testing, including final exam, will take place in the Math Labs. Please see the class schedule for the dates.

Scheduling the Test

Before you take a test, you have to schedule it, which means you have to choose a day and a time from among available options. To schedule a test, use the Testing Cal link sent to you via email. Scheduling for each test will open approximately one week before the first day of testing. Please check the class schedule in your syllabus for the dates. It is your responsibility to arrive for your scheduled test on time.

Here are the steps you must follow to schedule a test:

  • Click on Testing Cal link in your email
  • Enter your PID and last name exactly as it is written in MyLabsPlus (e.g. the system may require Delacruz even though you spell it De La Cruz).
  • Once you have successfully logged into the reservation system, click on a date to create a reservation.
  • The testing dates for each test are listed in the calendar.
  • After deciding on the best available date and time, confirm your email address and complete your reservation.
  • Check your reservation by clicking on the Check Reservation link.
  • If you cannot see your reservation, you do not have a reservation.
  • You can also verify your reservation by checking your Panther email account for the confirmation email.
  • You may click on Cancel Reservation and then Browse Tests to change your reservation up until the time test scheduling has closed.
  • If you have not scheduled your test by the time the scheduling period ended, you will not be able to take the test.
