The test out is given via MyITLab online in the Testing Services Center, Lawshe 118.
Cost for testing is $15.00 for the MYITLab access code. This $15.00 code is good for two weeks only, so you must complete the test out within this time frame. This two-week code can be purchased online at MyITLab at your first appointment. No other costs are associated with this exam.
