After you've been accepted by a college, you may need to take placement tests. Colleges use placement tests in subjects like math and English to check the academic skill levels of entering students. Then the college can place each student in classes at the right level.

How is a placement test graded?
The test is NOT scored on a scale of 0 to 100. There are no 'passing' or 'failing' scores. Placement tests are designed to match you with a course that you are prepared to succeed in based on your current skill levels.
