Testing Information

Announcement:  Effective July 18, 2016, testing in Oklahoma City is at the Will Rogers Building, 2401 N. Lincoln Blvd.

You can take Merit System Tests at the HCM office in Oklahoma City and at select Career Technology Centers around the State.

You must submit a completed online job application and have it approved before taking a test. If you have already done this, you should receive correspondence from HCM authorizing you to take a test. Be sure to bring this correspondence with you to the testing center. You will also need a photo ID (preferably a driver’s license) to be admitted to the test center.

Testing at HCM

HCM administers Merit System tests (both written and performance) Tuesdays and Thursdays (excluding state holidays), from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Please allow a minimum of two hours to take each test. No appointment is needed.

Testing at Other Locations

All Merit System written tests may be taken at a number of other testing locations around the state. Each testing site maintains a different schedule. Most require appointments. Please call or e-mail the test site for more information. If you need a performance test (typing or data entry), please ask if these tests are provided at that location. If not, they should be able to refer you to a nearby office that provides those, or call 405-521-2171 or e-mail [email protected].
