How do I study for my placement test?

This page provides an overview of the placement and sample practice questions.

Why is it important to study for my placement test?

It is very important that you prepare for the placement tests in advance so that you perform at your best and do not have to spend time and tuition on classes below your actual competency level. Studies indicate that students who take their time with the placement test, score higher and have fewer developmental and other courses to complete. This will save you both time and money.

How long will it take for me to finish a placement test?

Plan on two to two and a half hours to complete the placement test if you are taking all three parts. However, the only part of the test that’s timed is the writing portion where you have 50 minutes. The reading and math parts of the test are not timed.

Can I take the placement test in person at another college?

You may take 中国澳门博彩官网’s placement test at another college or university that is an ACCUPLACER testing location.
