Most ECE exams are 3-hour tests. They are administered via computer at Pearson VUE Testing Centers.
Excelsior College was formerly called Regents College. Several years ago, these tests were called ACT-PEP (Proficiency Examination Program) exams.
Over the years, the university has made changes in scoring methods and cutoff scores for ECE exams. If you tested several years ago and need assistance in interpreting your scores correctly, contact the Director of Testing Services.
