ACCUPLACER and ACT Score Tables
Computer-based assessments are not pass or fail exams; rather tools to help determine the courses that best fit a student’s academic needs. The tests measure knowledge in the areas of arithmetic, elementary algebra, reading comprehension and sentence skills. The results are shared with the student's academic advisor and used to determine course placement and class scheduling.
Recommendations are dependent on whether the student is planning to take Career & Technical Education (CTE)/Quantitative Literacy courses or preparing to take Algebra. (If the student switches from one path to another, additional testing and advising may be needed for proper placement in courses towards the new path.)
Special testing accommodations are available for students with documented disabilities. Contact the Director of Guidance and Placement for additional information.
