What exactly are WESTs all about?

Prospective educators must pass the basic skills test (WEST-B) and an endorsement test (WEST-E) in order to hold a valid teaching certificate in the Washington public school system. The Washington State Educator Skills Tests (WEST) are designed by the Washington Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) to ensure that educators meet quality standards. The WEST-B was created to ensure that teaching candidates possess basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The WEST-E assessments were created to certify that teaching candidates possess a required level of content knowledge in a specific discipline of study.

WEST-B (Basic)

The WEST-B (Basic) is often required prior to a candidate is officially admitted into a teacher preparatory program. The WEST-B consists of three computer-based exams measuring basic skills in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The Reading portion consists of 60 multiple-choice items assessing the ability to comprehend written text. Two hours is allotted for this portion. The Mathematics section also included 60 multiple-choice items to be completed in a two-hour span. It assesses a candidate’s understanding and application of math concepts and principles. The Writing test includes 50 multiple-choice questions and 2 constructed response items. Three hours are allowed for this measure of the application of standard writing conventions in written language production. These three exams can be taken individually or in one testing session lasting 5 hours. Results are scaled scores ranging from 100 – 300 with 240 being the minimum passing score. Preliminary scores are provided at the test site immediately after completing the exam except for the Writing test. Official score reports will be emailed within 2-6 weeks of testing.

WEST-E (Endorsement)

WEST-E (Endorsement) exams certify competence in a given field. Passing the WEST-E is required prior to student teaching indicating that a candidate demonstrates the required level of content knowledge for endorsement by the state of Washington. Most WEST-E exams contain 110 multiple-choice questions with 2 hours and 15 minutes allowed for completion. Results are scaled scores ranging from 100 – 300 with 240 being the minimum passing score. Preliminary scores are provided at the test site immediately after completing the exam except for the Computer Science and Designated World Language: Latin exams.
