  1. See what the test is like by reviewing a study guide http://www.cpcc.edu/testing_assessment/placement-testing/accuplacer-study-guides.
  2. Get plenty of rest the night before your testing appointment.
  3. Make sure you eat a good breakfast or lunch prior to taking the test.
  4. Bring a photo ID and your CPCC student ID to a CPCC testing center.
  5. Take the test seriously.  You will be placed into classes based on your results.
  6. Permission to retest is not automatic.  Do your best the first time!

 

Remember,

  • The test is computerized.
  • Each section is short and untimed (normally 12-20 questions per section).
  • Once a question is answered, it cannot be changed.
  • Calculators and dictionaries are NOT allowed.  Some questions allow the use of the ACCUPLACER calculator, which is built into the test.  Personal calculators are NEVER allowed.  The Windows calculator is NEVER allowed. 
  • Work by yourself.
