What is English Accuplacer?

The purpose of English Accuplacer testing is to provide students with useful information about their academic skills in English reading and writing. The results of the assessment, in conjunction with a person's academic background, goals, and interests, are used by academic advisors and counselors to determine course selection. The English Accuplacer is a free examination for prospective and current ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students. No appointment is necessary. It may take approximately 1-2 hours to complete. The exams are automatically graded, and students receive their scores and English class placements immediately.
