Why do you Need to Practice for your ACCUPLACER Test before the Exam?
The rationale behind the ACCUPLACER Placement Test is to discover which college courses and classes you should take. Prospective universities will use your ACCUPLACER Placement test scores to determine which English and math courses you are to take when you begin your college degree. If you don’t get a top score on your ACCUPLACER test, you may need to enroll in remedial level English or math courses when you start university. This may mean that you will have to go over material that you already covered back in high school.
We, at Prepterminal, want you to avoid having to take remedial level courses. And, that’s why we have developed several practice tests to help you succeed on your ACCUPLACER exam. Check out our reading quiz and math quiz (which covers both algebra and arithmetic subjects). Find out what your current testing level is when you complete our free practice tests.
