University to open official Prometric Testing Center
The University of Maine at Presque Isle announced Friday that the campus will soon open a Prometric Testing Center, meaning University students and community members will no longer have to drive for hours to take important computer-based exams such as the GRE, Praxis, and MCAT.
The University has signed a contract with the leading global provider in testing services to open a 5-seat testing site, which will be located in South Hall. Work is underway now to renovate the space and outfit it with computer stations and other necessary testing equipment. Officials hope to host the official opening for the testing site in January.
“We are so pleased to be joining with Prometric to bring this important service to northern Maine,” President Don Zillman said. “It will benefit not only our students who are required to take certain tests in order to become certified as teachers or to be admitted to graduate programs, but also the many community members who currently have to drive long distances to take important computer-based academic and licensure exams.”
