First of all, remember that the Accuplacer is a computer-adaptive test. This means that the test questions are automatically adjusted to your skill level. In other words, the computer software selects the difficulty level of subsequent questions based on your success rate on previous questions for each section of the test.
The test is not timed, so relax, slow down, and think about each response carefully.
Careful consideration of your answers is important because once you have chosen an answer and gone to the next question, you can't go back and change your answers to previous questions.
Also remember that if you answer several questions incorrectly, the software will automatically begin to give you easier questions, which may result in you earning fewer points overall.
When you report at your college or university to take the test, you must have photo identification with you.
You need to check with your college or university regarding whether or not you can use calculators or dictionaries during the test. Various institutions have different rules about the use of these types of study aids during the Accuplacer exam.
Your college or university may also ask you to take an essay assessment as part of the Accuplacer.
