The ACCUPLACER<\/strong> is an integrated system of computer-adaptive assessments designed to evaluate students\u2019 reading, writing, and mathematics skills.\u00a0 The computer-adaptive design personalizes the test for each student. Each test question determines the difficulty level of the next. Final scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly and the difficulty level of the questions answered correctly.<\/p>\n

The Accuplacer is an untimed, computerized test to evaluate your reading, writing, and math skills for course placement. Since the test is untimed, \u00a0you work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Testing is by appointment only. Space is limited.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Individual student score reports are available immediately after testing. Reports include student test scores, custom messages from SAU, and information about course placement based on institutional placement scores. Students wishing to take the Accuplacer for admittance to SAU should contact SAU’s Office of Admissions for approval before scheduling the test in our Testing Center.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
