Placemetn Testing

The Accuplacer Placement Test (CPT) was developed by the College Board to provide information on your Reading, Sentence Skills, Arithmetic, and Elementary Algebra skill level. Minimum skills are necessary for success in college. By assessing your ability levels in these areas, we can determine which of our English, Mathematics, and Reading courses are most appropriate for you. All applicants must test unless they have satisfactory SAT, ACT, Asset, or Compass scores and/or transcripts (when applicable) documenting proper degrees, allowing testing exemption. All Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) applicants are required to take the Reading placement test.

SAT, ACT, Asset, or Compass Substitution
SAT, ACT, Asset, or Compass scores may be accepted for placement into all programs except BLET. You may have SAT, ACT, Asset, or Compass scores sent to the Admissions Office, or have them included as part of your high school or college transcript. Appropriate scores that are less than five years old may be used in lieu of placement testing. Students who have completed a degree may also be exempt from taking the placement test. If you have questions concerning your SAT, ACT, Asset, or Compass scores, or exemption from placement testing, please contact Sue McNeill at the Lee County Campus at (919) 718-7471, or 1-800-682-8353 ext. 7471 or via email at smcneill@cccc.edu.
