Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WEST-B exam?

The WEST‑B (Washington Educator Skills Test–Basic) measures basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics for entry into Washington educator preparation programs and for many out‑of‑state teachers seeking Washington certification.

Who needs to take the WEST-B?

Most candidates entering Washington teacher preparation programs, and many out‑of‑state teachers seeking a Washington teaching certificate, must meet the WEST‑B basic skills requirement, though some programs accept approved alternatives such as SAT or ACT.

What sections are on the WEST-B?

The WEST‑B has three subtests:

  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Mathematics

Each designed to evaluate foundational academic skills needed for teacher preparation and classroom practice.

How long is the WEST-B?

When taking all three subtests in a single session, candidates have 5 hours of testing time, plus about 15 minutes for the computer‑based tutorial and agreements.

Registration is done online through the official WEST testing website, where you create an account, select subtests, choose a test center or online‑proctored option, and schedule an appointment.

How is the WEST-B used in teacher certification?

Programs and the state use WEST‑B scores to confirm that candidates meet Washington’s basic skills benchmarks in reading, writing, and math, which is an important prerequisite for admission to educator preparation and for many certification pathways.

What content is on the reading section?

The Reading subtest assesses comprehension of main ideas and details, analysis of relationships and arguments, evaluation of author purpose and viewpoint, vocabulary in context, and use of study skills with texts, graphs, tables, and charts.

What does the writing section include?

The Writing subtest includes multiple‑choice questions on usage, grammar, organization, and revision plus two essays that assess organization, development, audience awareness, and control of standard written English conventions.

What math topics are tested?

The Mathematics subtest covers numbers and operations, measurement, geometry, algebra, probability and statistics, and general mathematical reasoning, problem‑solving, and communication skills.

I used Prephow's practice tests to prep for the WEST-B and passed on my first try. The questions really mirrored what I saw on the actual exam, especially for the reading and writing sections. The math practice was solid too and covered everything from basic operations to algebra and geometry. Definitely worth it if you want to feel confident going into test day.
