UVU Testing Services

"Definitely ideal for having quiet areas to test in as well as thorough procedures and staffing, the vibe is a bit overwhelming sometimes because of that though."

"Came here for my real estate test and it was a super horrible experience. I need silence when I test and everyone was so disruptive and it was entirely hard to concentrate. They gave me ear plugs but it didn't help and they tried telling a girl to be quiet but she was still loud. I will not be coming back to this location."

"This place is a dump, some of the workers are nice but some money could be invested into this building/program to make it better. For how big and nice UVU is you would think that their testing center wouldn't be a smelly portable shared with the wrestling team. The testing center seems to have some seriously odd hours as well."

"My biggest issue with the testing center is their hours. They open late and close early, which is extremely inconvenient for students that also have jobs to schedule a time to take their required tests. I always have to get time off work to take my tests. For those that take night classes, you have to plan on taking your tests outside of your normal availability and there's no chance of trying to take them before work because they don't open until 11:00 A.M. Another big issue I have with the testing center is their check-in and check-out process. It's extremely inefficient. Even with no lines, you can expect at least fifteen minutes before you will actually be taking your test. They go through what seems like a twenty step check-in process just to get you to the lab if you are taking your test on a computer, then you have to wait for a proctor to assign you a computer and then wait for someone to enter a password so you can actually start taking your test. Then you have to wait in line again to leave the testing center. I've never understood this process. I would think you should be able to just drop your things and leave, but instead they want to sit and chat with each student before they leave the building. If there is an issue, can't they just charge you for missing materials or contact you if there was an issue with grading? There's nothing you can do by standing there staring at them as they grade scantrons and do who knows what. The lab is normally freezing (at least during the Summer) and I've actually taken a small jacket just to take tests before. The one plus is that the labs are generally very quiet, unless you are there close to closing--which is always for me--in which case, they will be calling out how many minutes you have left to finish your test every minute to distract you and give you an anxiety attack."

"They waste your time! one of their test proctors told me something, then the next time I came to take a test I was told that he hadn't told me that. Since they record all of the proctor conversations I called in to get a refund. They put me on and off hold for close to 45 min only to discover that I had indeed been telling the truth. They then basically said "tough, we wont do anything to rectify our mistake" and hung up after wasting my time while giving me hope that they would be honorable. Waste of time and hope that they would be an honorable institution."
