ACCUPLACER and MyMathTest
The purpose of ACCUPLACER and the MyMath Test is to provide useful information on a person's current academic skill in math, English, and reading. The results of the assessment, in conjunction with academic background, goals, and interests, are used by academic advisors to determine course selection.
The placement tests are not designed for "pass" or "fail" results. However, course registration is determined by the results. It is very important that you do your best on the tests, to set an accurate measure of your academic skills.
