English Placement Test

The University of Wisconsin System English Placement Test is available online. This test will help us place you in the most appropriate English composition course. We request that you take test as soon as possible, ideally at least one week before your advising appointment.

On-line Option

Before registration:

• Take the English Placement Practice Test

When you register for placement testing:

• You will need your Falcon ID login credentials (your “W-number” and password)
• Select only the exams that you need to take.  If you are taking more than one placement test, you do not need to complete all the tests during one sitting.
• Within two business days of registering, you will receive an email from Scantron with a username and password for accessing the exam.  PLEASE NOTE: your placement test registration email may be routed into your spam folder in your email. If you can't find your placement test registration information, please check your spam folder.

It is in your best interest to take the exam using no outside resources than what is indicated in the exam, as the score will be used to place you in the best class for your academic success. If you get a higher score using unsanctioned assistance, you will be placed in a course that may be too difficult or challenging for you. UWRF is interested in helping you achieve academic success for your future, rather than in your current abilities in this area of study; so, scoring high is not the best outcome. Scoring accurately will help you the most.
