Test Preparation

Course placement is evaluated by the results of each student's testing abilities in the areas of Math, Reading and Writing. To obtain a more valid and accurate skill placement, all students are encouraged to complete a review (if available) of their academic skills prior to taking the placement exam.

Next Generation Accuplacer and Companion Accuplacer use the same study application which is tailored to specifically help students become more prepared to test. It can be found on the Accuplacer Study App. There are a variety of other web based test taking tools and study preparation resources available for use as well. If using an application other than the Accuplacer Study App, test preparation should only focus on reading comprehension, writing and math portions of the preparation materials. If you have any questions about accessing the Accuplacer Study App, contact any OPE电子竞技官网 Learning and Tutoring Center.

ALEKS math assessment does not have an official review source but students may visit any OPE电子竞技官网 Math Center.

Writing Sample Essay assessment does not have an official or unofficial review at this time.
