Students test in Accuplacer Arithmetic, Qualitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics, Advanced Algebra and Functions, Reading, and Writing. Individuals may re-test two times before following the prescribed College developmental pathway. Test scores are valid for five years. Accuplacer Testing Procedures: 1. The Accuplacer test is administered on a walk-in basis - Monday – Thursday 8:00 am – 3:00 pm - Friday 8:00 am – 1:30 pm 2. There is a $20 testing fee to take the Accuplacer Test and a valid photo ID is required prior to testing. 3. If the required score is not met, the tester may register for another test session without cost within one calendar year of the first test session. No minimum timeframe between the first and second test sessions is established. 4. Another $20 fee is assessed for a third and final test session. No minimum timeframe between the second and final test session is established. However, the third session must be completed within one calendar year of the first session. Notes: • The College accepts Accuplacer, TABE Level A, or ACT scores for program and course placement. • Accommodations for special populations may bypass Accuplacer testing in favor of another exam as determined by NWTC staff. All equivalent program and placement scores will apply. • All testers will follow the procedures outlined above regardless of testing site. The scores of students who have tested in district high schools are reviewed for program and course placement. However, students will begin following the procedures outlined above upon registering for a NWTC test session and paying the $20 testing fee. A general description of the Academic Skills Assessments and the benchmark scores specific to each program are available on NWTC’s web site, www.nwtc.edu. For more information call (920) 498-5427.
