What are my starting points in College
English and Math ? The placement
test assesses your proficiency in math and
English so that you can be placed in to appropriate
level of study. Due to insufficient scores,
many applicants are expected to successfully
complete a developmental course(s) before
they can enroll in the English and math courses
required for graduation from their particular
program of study. A score report will be printed
for you when you complete the placement test
and an Enrollment Counselor will meet with
you for score interpretation.. The counselor
will then refer you to your academic advisor
for placement into the courses designed on
the score report. See the college catalog
for further explanation regarding SAT and
ACT scores that will waiver your taking the
test.
