The English, ESL and math assessments help you to determine the appropriate English, ESL and math courses for your current learning needs. Testing is required before enrollment into English 90 or English 100. Testing is also required to enroll in algebra (math 25) and intermediate algebra (math 30). To enroll in college level math (math 34 or higher) school transcripts verifying prerequisites are required. Please click on this link for additional math assessment information. Testing is required before enrollment into any Advance ESL course.
Assessment tests are taken on a computer. This is not a timed test. However, students should put aside 1 ½ - 2 hours to complete both assessments. Students taking the ESL assessment should plan on spending 1 - 2 hours to finish both sections (time is dependent on your English language proficiency). All questions are multiple choice, and instructions are easy to follow. New students should plan to complete their assessment tests prior to attending a New Student Workshop.
You will receive your test results, including recommended placements, immediately after completing the tests. You will also be provided with clear descriptions of the subject matter covered in each English, ESL and math course.
You cannot "fail" the assessment tests or be denied admission to the college. The tests are a measure of current skill level only, not of intelligence or aptitude. Do you need to take the assessment tests?
