Health Science Field Testing

Field Testing for Health Science, including Medical Terminology, must be completed by the end of April 22, 2022. These tests are in field testing, and will not be available after April 22, 2022. Scores for these tests will be finalized within 2 weeks after the testing window closes so that scores will be available for graduating students. Please note that these tests are longer than typical WebXam Assessments, so please be sure to provide your students adequate time to complete the tests.
