What is a placement test?
A placement test helps CCC determine which math and English courses are the right fit for your current skills. It is not a pass or fail exam and it does not affect your admission to CCC. It simply helps make sure you start in a class where you can succeed. CCC uses a placement test called the Accuplacer.
Do I need to take a placement test?
Not necessarily. Many students can place into math and English courses without taking a test at all. CCC uses a Multiple Measures approach, which means your high school GPA, recent grades in math or English, ACT or SAT scores, or transferable college coursework may be enough to determine your placement.
Some specialized programs also require placement testing regardless of your academic history.
Not sure if you need a placement test?
Meet with an advisor first. They can review your records and tell you exactly what you need before scheduling anything. This is especially important when scheduling Math and English classes, as there are specific tracks for many degrees and certificates.
Schedule an advising appointment
If your advisor has confirmed that you need to take a placement test, or if your program requires it, you can go ahead and schedule directly.
Where can I take the test?
Placement testing is also available at both the Lone Tree and Page Campuses.
Preparing for the Accuplacer
Taking a little time to prepare makes a real difference. These free resources are available to every CCC student:

Not necessarily. Many students place into math and English courses without taking an additional test. CCC uses a Multiple Measures approach, which means your existing academic records may be enough to determine your placement.
You may qualify using at least two of the following:
Important: If your high school information or test scores are more than 10 years old, different placement rules apply. Contact an advisor or Testing Services for guidance.

GED Prep classes run on a quarterly schedule with new sessions beginning throughout the year. You do not have to wait until fall to enroll. Contact the Adult Education office for current session start dates and registration deadlines.

Students who pass the GED Ready Practice Test are strongly encouraged to schedule their GED exam right away.
