With the limited time available at SMSU, register for only one test at a time and choose the time frame that best fits your test. Pearson VUE also adds 15 minutes to the testing time indicated by MTLE, so if you have two subtests at one hour each, you will actually be signing up for 2.5 hours of testing time.

*If you are an SMSU student needing to have a test proctored for an SMSU class, please contact your professor.
