Statistics Waiver Exam Timing and Duration:
The STAT 6210 Placement Exam is the first half (1 hour) of the STAT 6130 Waiver Exam (2 hours). You do not need to register for or take two exams.
Taking the waiver exam does not preclude you from placing into STAT 6210 – you will be evaluated for both via the one 2 hour exam. If you do not score high enough to waive STAT 6130, you may still score high enough to place into STAT 6210.

You will need a Mac or Windows laptop (Linux and Android devices are not supported). Limited functionality is available for Surface Pro tablets. Additional information on devices can be found here.
Students who are taking either of these exams must download LockDown Browser on their device beforehand. Please see instructions here.
