    About the English College Placement Test

 
Upon entering QCC, all students are required to take the Accuplacer Placement Test. The test is an assessment tool that determines your appropriate placement for Math and English courses at QCC.


The Advising Center can help you schedule your placement test.





  Because the test is used for assessment, tutors in the Communication Skills Center are not able to help you prepare for the English College Placement Test.

Information about the test, as well as study guides, can be found by following links below:
