See your advisor for the sections you need to complete
Cost: Free for OSU-OKC students needing placement into OSU-OKC classes.
Time Allowed: Not timed but
- Reading or Writing: 45 min to complete one section – 1½ hours to complete both

you should receive an email in 1-2 business days from the day you request your appointment
from:
- ACCUPLACER NoReply@accuplacer.info with information to complete your exam online with Meazure Learning/ProctorU.
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE TESTING
If you request to take your exam online/remote, it means you and your environment
will be monitored by a live proctor, recorded, and reviewed. You will need to complete
thorough room pans/scans, remain completely in front of the webcam from the shoulders
up, and stay in one room by yourself for the entirety of the exam (This is not a complete
list of requirements).
Checklists have been included in the exam to assist with completing all necessary
tasks.
Once the test session is completed, the video is reviewed and flagged for irregularities.
It is then reviewed again for validity of the scores. This process will take 5 –
7 business days, and you will be notified by email when it is completed. All scores
are marked unofficial until they have been verified.
If there is anything that is asked of you that you do not want to complete, do NOT
proceed with testing and contact the Testing Center. There are other options for
you to complete the OSU-OKC Placement tests.
We are using Meazure Learning LIVE+ to administer your exam. At this time, there is no cost for the student to take this
exam. You will need to create an account and then schedule an appointment to take
