Pass the DET with the Least Amount of Studying!
The Diagnostic Entrance Exam or DET is designed to determine the level of knowledge that a student already has in four major areas: math, reading and comprehension, English and critical thinking. An optional science test is often also required. The tests can be taken any time throughout the year and the results will be sent to the appropriate school that the student is applying to.
 Exam Details
- The exam is conducted in both a Computer-based format (CBE) and in a paper and pencil format at specified exam sites.
- The online computer based format usually provides you with instant results while paper and pencil versions are provided within 48 hours after receipt of the exam.
- The test is designed to determine your overall learning and retention of knowledge throughout your years in school.
