Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test (BTLPT)

The University of Houston-Victoria is an official testing site for the Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test (BTLPT) on behalf of Educational Testing Services. The BTLPT is a computer-based exam that will replace the TOPT by July 2010.

These computer-based administrations are generally held five times a year in the University Center Building in RM 216. (Room 215 is the waiting room where you'll report, fill out the confidentiality form, and wait to be admitted.)
