Welcome to the Testing Center
We provide placement testing to new Prince George's Community College students and academic testing at the Largo Campus to students enrolled in courses. The center also administers competency and challenge examinations on behalf of certain departments.
The Testing Center is located in Bladen Hall, Room 100, and provides quarter-operated lockers for examinees to secure their books, phones, and other personal possessions. Quarters are returned to students when they retrieve their belongings from the lockers. View the hours of operation, here.

Photo IDs Are Required for All Services

Children and Guests Are Not Allowed
Guests are not permitted in the Testing Center (no spouses, children, parents, siblings, or other friends or family). Only examinees and authorized College staff are allowed.
Please review the complete list of rules for the Testing Center. Individuals using testing center services are responsible for always abiding by these guidelines. Violations of these guidelines and responsibilities may result in loss of privileges and denial of future services.
Bring Your PGCC Student ID Number
After applying to the school and paying your application fee, you will be assigned a student ID number to be used for placement tests, registration, and exams. You may find this number on your bill, on your schedule, in Owl Link, and in PGCC Navigate. If you have one, your student ID number is also encoded in the barcode of your PGCC student ID.
Bring One Quarter for the Locker Room
Students are only allowed to have the following items at their desks: a PGCC student ID card, their test or worksheet, pens or pencils, a testing center locker key, and a calculator provided by the testing center (if permitted). Scratch paper is permitted for placement tests only. All other possessions brought into the center must be secured in a locker before the test starts. Lockers require a quarter, which is returned when the locker is reopened. Change is not available from the College staff.
