Mid Michigan Community College uses ACCUPLACER (a computer
based test by the College Board) as a placement tool. ACCUPLACER is not an
admissions test. It is an assessment that helps students identify their present
strengths and needs--information that is necessary for accurate placement in the
basic areas of language usage, reading, and numerical skills.
ACCUPLACER was developed, standardized, and validated by the
College Board, a division of the Educational Testing Service.
All students in the following categories must complete the
ACCUPLACER assessment prior to registration:
New full-time students;
New students taking 6 credits or more;
New students, not full-time, who will be pursuing a degree or
certificate;
Students who plan to enroll in a college Mathematics or
English course for the first time;
Returning students who are on academic probation or
academically dismissed;
Students who have completed 12 credit hours or more, have not
had a college English or Math course at another institution, and have not
previously been assessed.
Should I Study For ACCUPLACER?
A student cannot "pass" or "fail" the
placement tests. To ensure that test scores accurately represent skill levels,
students may wish to review basic concepts in reading, grammar, arithmetic, and
algebra before taking ACCUPLACER, especially if they have been away from school
for more than a year.
Mid Michigan Community College has developmental classes in
Reading, English, and Math to help students who need to improve their basic
reading, writing, or math skills before attempting higher-level coursework. A
student who needs substantial remediation in reading or writing may be referred
to basic adult education programs available in the community.
What To Bring With You To Assessment
On the day of the test, you should be sure to know or
bring your social security number and photo
identification. A short Orientation will take place prior to your
ACCUPLACER Assessment.
REMEMBER, PHOTO I.D. IS REQUIRED FOR
ALL TESTING SESSIONS
