Purpose of Academic Assessment
One of the most important keys to success in college is taking courses at the level equal to your current academic skills. Enrolling in courses that are too easy becomes boring and frustrating, while those that are too hard become discouraging. For this reason, we offer the English, Math, English as a Second Language (ESL) assessments, and the Chemistry Test.
Assessment is an important process. How well you do on the placement test along with other information that you provide us will determine where you will start with regards to your courses. When you come to take the assessment, we expect that you will try your best so that your results are as accurate as possible.
If you feel that you can increase your results by brushing up on a particular subject, please do so before you take the assessment by looking at the study guides. (Note: we do not provide a study guide for the Chemistry Test)
