The MSU Testing Center recently performed a traffic count for calendar year 2017, and determined we administered at least 11,000 computer- and paper-based exams in the Testing Center itself during 2017, along with an additional approximately 850 exams for large groups outside of the center. Approximately 66% (7,700) of the 11,000 administered in the Testing Center were Missouri State Online exams – the remainder consisted of external academic exams for MSU students and non-MSU students, professional certification and/or licensing exams for MSU students and members of the public, and high school equivalency exams.

The MSU Testing Center, located on the Lower Level of Duane G. Meyer Library, offers a wide variety of exams — over 20 categories of exams — for both MSU students and non-students. The MSU Testing Center currently has 20 trained test proctors, in addition to the three full-time staff members. Proctors have to undergo extensive training and pass certification exams for several external companies, most of which offer dozens up to hundreds of exams under their umbrellas. Proctors have to keep those certifications current, and also follow all other exam guidelines. Most certifications have to be renewed annually.
