CCBC assesses students' entry-level academic skills in reading, English, and math to ensure that students are placed in appropriate courses. The College uses Accuplacer, a computerized, adaptive, untimed placement test, which is mandatory for:

• students who have not previously attended a college and earned college credits
• students who are pursuing a degree or certificate
• students who are transferring to a four-year institution
• students whose SAT or ACT scores are below suggested levels

Please access the CCBC Guide to Assessment and Placement for a comprehensive look at placement information so that you may find out everything you always wanted to know about placement testing and be prepared to do your very best!
