English Placement Exam (EPE)

Online proctoring

Off-site EPE proctoring is reserved for incoming first year or transfer students attending on-campus courses. The EPE may need to be taken if a student does not have one of the following scores:

  • ACT English Score 18 or higher
  • Old SAT Verbal Score (Before March 2016) 430 or higher
  • New SAT Evidence Based Reading/Writing Score (After March 2016) 470 or higher
  • Accuplacer (Classic) Score 95 or higher

EPE testing is free of charge for Adams State students. If you need to take the EPE, please ensure that your Adams State University student account has been activated and contact us at the testing center or your admissions counselor for further information.
