You must request a copy of your official transcripts.

• If you attended a Wyoming college/university you should have taken one of the below courses. There is a list of the courses below that suffice as fulfillment for this requirement.  I have also attached the study guides in case you haven’t taken any of the courses for college credit.  If you haven’t taken any of the courses you will be required to take the two short quizzes online after applying with PTSB; they are each 20 multiple choice questions and you have to get 15/20 correct.  If you do not pass you are able to take them as many times as necessary to pass. To obtain the exams(s) digitally through PTSB, please send an email to wyoptsb@wyo.gov, and be sure to include which exam(s) you will need to take in your email request (U.S. Constitution and Wyoming Constitution).  Please note that the digital exams are scored automatically. If you do not pass the exam(s), you will need to send another request to wyoptsb@wyo.gov. You will fill in your date the exams were taken and your scores and PTSB will verify them when they receive your application.
