ACCUPLACER
ACCUPLACER & ACCUPLACER-ESL
ACCUPLACER tests are designed to provide placement, advisement, and guidance information for students entering institutions of higher education. These tests are developed by College Board, with the help of committees of college faculty, to provide information about the student’s level of skill and accomplishment in reading, writing, and mathematics. It determines which courses are appropriate for the student and whether developmental classes are needed. The ACCUPLACER English as a Second Language (ESL) is designed to support the placement of English language learners into English language courses so that they may receive appropriate and targeted levels of instruction. ACCUPLACER (including ESL) presents the tests in a computer-adaptive mode and scores are available immediately after testing.
