If you do not have an iPhone, you can still use the new technology to prepare for
the Accuplacer test for English and Mathematics. Just make an appointment to take the pretest
for the new ACCUPLACER//MyFoundationsLab before you take the placement test.
Please complete a sample test and submit for scoring or grading.

Algebra II is Intermediate Algebra. If you missed more that half of
the Elementary Algebra questions, please watch the Prealgebra videos
before watching the Algebra videos.
After watching the videos, go back to Step 1 and try the test again.
Step 3
After you completed the Intermediate Algebra and/or PCALC test(s) at
the web site listed under Step 1 and video review, complete the Math
Analysis for preparation for placement into Math 10 Statistics. For
placement into Trigonometry or higher, take the Calculus Readiness

Print the results and go to Step 2 to review the topics recommended on the report.
Final Step.
If you only want to test for Math, then you will need to select the activity Math and English. On the next screen, deselect Math and English, and select Math only. In the notes section, please indicate which Math test you want to take: Arithmetic, Elementary Algebra or College Level Math.
Schedule an appointment to take the placement test. We do not
have drop in testing available any longer due to a cut in staffing
for the Testing Center.
