A variety of assessments are offered to both students and the community.

Placement Testing

The COMPASS placement test is required for English and math class placement.  The college also accepts ASSET and SLEP results taken within the past two years.

CLEP

Students working towards an A.A.S. degree may earn general education credits in English, math, psychology and sociology by taking a computer-based College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam. Check with an adviser for other courses eligible for CLEP. A passing score earns credit only–not a grade. GPA is not impacted by CLEP scores.

GED

General Education Development (GED) testing is available in English and Spanish.

HOBET

The HOBET test is required as part of the admission process for the Dental Hygiene, Practical Nurse and Nursing and other allied health programs.

MOS

The college is an authorized Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification testing center.

Vocational Assessment

Selecting a career and an appropriate training program are major life decisions. Whether it is your first time in the employment field or you are changing careers, you are making an investment with both your time and money. Make sure it is the right decision before you start training!

To assist you in your career exploration, the Employment Resource Center at Lake Washington Technical College offers a free Career Choice Workshop the first Friday of every month from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Explore your interests, research current occupational information and learn about resources to assist you in exploring your career options. Additional interest and personality assessments are available on an individual basis. Contact the Employment Resource Center at (425) 739-8113 for more information.
