UExcel exams are computer-based standardized tests. While USM is not a testing site for UExcel exams, you can take exams at a variety of locations throughout the State of Maine. Please visit the testing company (Pearson VUE) website to find a location near you. 

UExcel offers a variety of exams, but only a few have been approved for USM credit.

Please note: A B or better is required on all UExcel exams that have been evaluated as appropriate for credit at USM.

If you have passed a UExcel exam with a B or better that is not on the above list, please contact Rusty Dolleman, PLA Director, at 207-780-5909 or rusty.dolleman@maine.edu.
