Accuplacer

ACCUPLACER is a series of tests that evaluate students’ skills in reading, writing, and math to help college administrators place them in courses that match their skills. For more information, please visit Accuplacer's "What's on the test" page.

The ACCUPLACER is an untimed exam with accessibility features, such as enlarged font built in. If other accommodations are necessary, please contact our office for assistance.
