WEST-B exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The WEST-B has three subtests: Reading (60 multiple-choice questions, 2 hours), Writing (50 multiple-choice and 2 constructed-response questions, 3 hours) and Mathematics (60 multiple-choice questions, 2 hours); all three in one test-center session take 5 hours (Pearson WEST page). Washington does not require a specific passing score to meet the state requirement; programs may set their own admission requirements. This portal practices the multiple-choice questions with a 170-question practice set; it does not score the writing constructed-response questions. Washington does not require a passing score on the WEST-B to meet the state requirement (House Bill 1621, 2019); your preparation program may set its own. Use the percentage in this portal as a self-check. The Pearson WEST page lists $32 per subtest and $96 for all three subtests at a test center; online-proctored subtests are $32 each. Washington teacher preparation programs require the WEST-B or an approved alternative for admission; anyone may register with Pearson.
