Schedule of Placement Testing for UW-Madison Students
Please Note: Permission to retest in any subject must be obtained from the corresponding department. Retesting in math requires approval from a SOAR advisor or the math department. You will not be allowed to take a retest without this advance approval.
After you have been approved, you may register for any available retest session.
How do I get approval for a retest?
You will have a chance to review your initial placement results at your SOAR session, and your SOAR advisor will be able to provide information about how to get approval to retest. If you are a continuing or returning student, or you have already completed your SOAR session, you can contact the math department for information about restesting in math.
How do I schedule a retest?
After you have received approval, you can return here to
login to schedule your retest.
Retest sessions are available from mid-July through the add/drop deadline in September. If you wish to place into a particular course, you should complete your retest a minimum of 2 business days before you intend to enroll in the course.
Where/when can I see my new placement?
2 business days after you have completed your retest, you can check for your scores online. If you don't see your results after 2 business days, you can contact the testing office at frontdesk@exams.wisc.edu for assistance.
