Bethel Testing Center Serving Students and the Community Located in the Vera Low Center for Student Enrichment on Bethel’s McKenzie campus, the Bethel University Testing Center provides all types of services to Bethel University students. “We have all kinds of students come to us,” said Sarah Sanders, Director of Testing and Tutoring Services. “Some professors use the testing center to administer make-up tests, and we also provide in-house testing for students with disabilities. We have three low distraction testing rooms 16 where the student has the best chance to concentrate and be successful on a test. “ Sanders said they have even conducted impact testing for student athletes. “The results from a student athlete’s impact test serve as a benchmark in the event there is concern that he or she suffered a concussion. “If there were concern with this, a second test would be administered to compare to the results from the first one. “We also administer exit examinations for our graduates,” she said. But Sanders says the entire community and region can benefit from Bethel’s testing center. “You do not have to be a student to utilize our testing services,” Sanders said. “We have people come to us to take all kinds of tests that are often required for entrance into certain educational programs.” According to Sanders, the Bethel University Testing Center offers the following tests: the College Level Evaluation Program (CLEP); the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), Dantes Subject Standardized Tests (DSST); Educational Testing Service tests – the Praxis and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL); the General Education Development (GED) test; and testing offered through Pearson VUE, which provides a full suite of services from test development to data management. “We had someone just the other day come from Nashville and take his Praxis test at our testing center here in McKenzie simply because we had an opening to take the test on a day that was convenient for him,” Sanders said. “So our reach is even further than the community and region.” Sanders said the testing center has served more than 400 individuals just since Aug. 1, 2013. “I think this speaks to the significant role the Bethel University Testing Center plays here on our campus and in the community,” Sanders said. The hours of the Bethel University Testing Center are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. To schedule a test, go to www.bethelu.edu/testingcenter, or call 731-352-6921. Note: Specific testing fees may apply.
