Do I have to take the ACCUPLACER?
First time college students who have not taken the ACT or SAT must take the ACCUPLACER for general admission to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. Your ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ counselor will also use your scores for course advisement purposes. College transfer students who have not received college credit in at least one English and one Math course must take the ACCUPLACER or submit official ACT or SAT scores.
Can I take the ACCUPLACER even if I have already taken the ACT?
Some students choose to take the ACCUPLACER to improve their placement level in certain courses even if they have already taken the ACT. For example, if a student’s ACT math sub score has placed them into a particular math course, the student may wish to take only the math section of the ACCUPLACER in efforts to increase their placement into a higher math course. If a student who has already taken the ACT chooses to take the ACCUPLACER for course placement purposes, the cost is $5 per subject area of the ACCUPLACER test.
