BEST administers placement exams in mathematics and foreign language to thousands of incoming freshmen and other undergraduates each year. We also administer the Graduate School Foreign Language Exam for French, German, and Spanish to graduate students who need to show proficiency in those languages for degree requirements.
In addition, BEST serves as a test administration site for a number of national exams, providing convenient local access to the SAT, GRE, PRAXIS, LSAT, and other widely-used admissions and certification exams.
As of September 1, 2013, the Indiana Department of Education requires the Indiana Core Academic Skills Assessment (CASA) – Reading, Math, and Writing Subtests for admission to teacher education programs in Indiana. The CASA replaces the PRAXIS I, which is no longer being accepted for admission to teacher education programs in Indiana. PRAXIS II subject area assessments will continue to be accepted for teacher licensure until new subject area assessments are introduced by the new testing vendor. See www.in.nesinc.com for more information.
You can find out how to register on the ETS website.
How to register: Registration can be done either in person at the BEST Testing Center or by completing and mailing the GSFLE registration form. Be prepared to provide your 10-digit University identification number and pay the applicable test fees:
