Preparation and sample questions

The purpose of ACCUPLACER tests is to provide you with useful information about your academic skills in math, English, and reading. The results of the assessment are used to determine your course selection.

You can not "pass" or "fail" the placement tests, but it is very important that you do your very best on these tests so that you will have an accurate measure of your academic skills.

To ensure that test scores accurately represent your skill levels, you may wish to review basic concepts in reading, grammar, arithmetic, trigonometry, and algebra before taking ACCUPLACER, especially if you have been away from school for some time.

The Accuplacer website provides Practice and be prepared for Next-Generation Accuplacer Tests. You can print out the results as soon as you complete the tests. The results will be loaded into the University student records system in about 1-2 work days during the registration period.
