The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) strives to protect our state's public health and natural resources consistent with sustainable economic development. The computer-based versions of the TCEQ tests are very user-friendly and you will receive an immediate score upon completion of the test. All applicants must be pre-approved by the TCEQ before applicants are eligible to take exams. This CBT (computer based test) is as accurate and reliable as the traditional paper/pencil version.
