Placement Testing Registration

What You Need Before Registering for Testing

• You must have submitted an application to FSW prior to registering for placement testing.
• Please visit How to Check The Status of Your Application if you have questions concerning accessing your FSW ID.

• Option 1:

• Submit your ACT/SAT scores earned within the last two years—If you did not select FSW as a recipient for your scores when you took the exam, you can follow the instructions in the links below to send the scores electronically (allow at least two weeks processing time):

  Request SAT Scores from College Board: FSW SAT Code is 5191

  Request ACT Scores through your ACT Web Account: FSW ACT Code is 0727

• OR
  Request a Zoom appointment to submit ACT/SAT scores: Email leetesting@fsw.edu
• OR
  

  Submit your scores in person at an FSW Testing Center - you must have a Photo ID and your log in information to ACT/SAT.

• Option 2:

• Submit your College Transcripts—It is possible that your college coursework/degree could satisfy the placement testing (Assessment hold) requirement (if required).

  • All college transcript(s) must be received and reviewed/evaluated by the Office of the Registrar in order for the Testing Center to evaluate if your coursework can satisfy required placement testing (Assessment hold).
  • Check "View Holds" in the "Student Academics" tab of your FSW Student Portal for a description of the transcript(s) you are missing. Learn more about submitting final official college transcripts here.

• Option 3:

• Request to Take a Placement Test through FSW at no extra charge:

  • Review placement test sample questions
  • Remediation is required prior to retesting. Please review the Remediation Requirements if you are taking the placement test for the second or third attempt.
  • FSW students must receive permission from FSW Testing Services prior to taking the P.E.R.T/ACCUPLACER at non-FSW testing center locations.
  • Please note: A valid Photo ID and your FSW Student ID Number are required in order to test.

Placement Testing for Spring B, Summer, and Fall terms opens February 8, 2021.
