On the DELO website there will be a box that states - Students: START HERE to register for a test:
Question 1: (First, tell us your student status), you will select that you are a WKU semester based student.
Question 2: (Second, the exam you want to register for), you will select the Math Placement Exam (MPE) Retake
Practice Exams are available: http://www.wku.edu/math/mpe.php
Explanation of retake policy (NOTE: The retake does not change the original test expiration date). If the first MPE was completed on January 1, 2012 then the expiration date is January 1, 2013. The student is allowed one retake during this period, but the expiration date is still January 1, 2013. The student needs to enroll or successfully complete the general education math requirement during the above time period, or they will not be allowed to enroll until the MPE is completed again.
