Unless you are contacted by the Placement Test Site Manager with different instructions, please arrive at the testing site, on the appropriate date, fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start time of the test session.

On the day of the assessment, you will need to provide photo identification. This can be a government issued identification card or an official high school picture I.D. You must present an acceptable form of identification to the test proctor before you can begin. The test is computerized, but you should bring several pencils and scrap paper to do any preliminary work before submitting your answers on the computer. Do not bring a calculator. When appropriate, a computer pop-up calculator will be made available to you as part of the math test.

You will receive the results of your placement assessments upon completion. All placement testing must be completed prior to academic advising and the selection of classes.
