Metropolitan State University - Where life and learning meet.

If you are a freshman having no college credit at all OR you are a transfer student but your Degree Audit Report (DARS) indicates that you are required to take tests, please schedule an appointment to take them by calling Placement Assessment at 651-793-1538 or by sending an email message to Placement.Assessment@metrostate.edu.

The web-based Accuplacer tests are not timed, but most people can finish both the math and language tests in about two hours. One hour is the norm for most students if they take only one part of the tests.

You may tentatively choose a start time beginning from 8:45 a.m., but the latest start time should be no later than 2:00 p.m. depending on how many tests you need to take. Our testing sessions are scheduled to end by 3:00 p.m.

Some graduate applicants need to take required assessment, too. If you have a Test Permit, move on to schedule your test. If you don't have one yet, you need to contact your program office to obtain one first.
