Interpreting EPT Results

Interpreting your scores

Follow these instructions to locate and view your scores in Workday.

When viewing results in Workday, make sure to read the scores in the “Score” column, not the “Percentile” column.

  • A “0” next to a particular course means that you are required to take that sub-test of the EPT but have not taken the test yet. You will need to take this sub-test in the future.
  • A “1” next to a particular course means that you took that sub-test of the EPT and did not pass, so you are required to take the course.
  • A “2” next to a particular course means that you took that sub-test of the EPT and passed, so you do not need to take that course.
  • A “3” next to a particular course means that you took that sub-test of the EPT and did not pass, and the required course has been waived.

Example 1. This graduate student has passed both the Writing and Oral Communication sections of the EPT and therefore is not required to take any ESL classes:

Example 2. This undergraduate student has been placed into 1010B and 1010D. (Note that if you have been placed in 1010B and 1010C or 1010D, you must take 1010B first). They have passed the Oral Communication section of the EPT and do not need to take ENGL 0990S.
