Registration Information

Please Note: For many graduate programs in the School of Education, the Miller Analogies Test is no longer required. Please check with the director of the specific program in which you are interested about this requirement.

There is a fee of $81 to take the Miller Analogies Test. All participants interested in taking the Miller Analogies Test must pay online then call (618) 650‑2295 to schedule an appointment. Please keep in mind the earliest appointment time we have available is 9 a.m. and the latest is 3 p.m. Monday – Friday. During the registration process, you will be asked to enter your Social Security Number.

Testing is permitted up to three times within a one-year period; however, if you are retesting within a year, you must present a retest ticket.
