- The student is pursuing a degree and does not have current valid district approved placement assessment on file or does not have previous college credit in English, reading and math.
- The student for whom English is not the primary language is required to take a test of English proficiency.
Prior to testing, students can study for the ACCUPLACER by using the resources on our ACCUPLACER Study Guides and Resource Bookmark. Click on the link to view sample questions for math and reading . For Write Placer (English) Guide click on the link sample essay.
