Testing Service

TREC administers a number of tests and maintains information on the credit by examinations, institutional examinations, Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA), and national examinations. See top menu bar for detailed information on all testing services.

Faculty Test Scanning and Scoring Service

TREC offers test scanning and scoring services to all faculty at Texas State University-San Marcos. Multiple choice exams taken on Texas State scan forms can be dropped off at the TREC window in lower Commons Hall.  Please follow our Exam Submission Guidelines. They will be scanned and run through a scoring program which will provide faculty with printed reports. For more detailed information about these reports, please click here: How to Read Exam Output.

Turnaround time for exams submitted at TREC is guaranteed within 24 hours (e.g. if you bring your exams at 3pm on Thursday, we guarantee to score them by 3pm on Friday), although it is usually a much shorter period of time. To use this service, complete the Exam Request Form and bring it with your exam scantrons to TREC.

Research Support

TREC also offers support to faculty members who need assistance on research projects. To find out how to access this service, click Here.
