PLACEMENT TESTING

Accuplacer Assessment

Northwest State Community College administers the Accuplacer Assessment as a placement test for courses. The assessment is used to determine eligibility for College Credit Plus and to help with course placement for new learners. The Accuplacer assessment is a required admissions step for the majority of new NSCC learners.
