Paper and Pencil Tests

Placement tests are given in English, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages (Spanish, French and German). The purpose of the placement tests is to provide the university with information to place students at the correct level of academic skills in a particular subject.

Math and English Tests Required

New students attending UW-Stout are required to take the UW-System Placement Tests to determine Math and English placement levels. Please contact an advisor in the Advisement Center if you have further questions. Current and Transfer students should also contact their advisor if they have questions regarding the need to take a placement test.
