If you have been admitted to the college as a Regular Student or plan to take a math, college composition, or reading course, you must take the Forest Park Placement Test. These tests are not pass-fail tests but are designed to help you discover your skill level in math, reading and English. You should take the tests after you have received your letter of admission and before you see a counselor or advisor to set up your schedule. Approximately 2 hours, however, there is no time limit.
Testing starts promptly at the assigned times so it is best to arrive a little early.
Bring a pencil and a pen with you. No Appointment is Necessary During Spring Break, Semester Break and certain Holidays, testing times are limited. The College uses Accuplacer, a computerized placement test, to assess entering students' academic skills and needs. You do not need to be experienced with computers in order to complete Accuplacer. In addition to the Accuplacer Assessment, you may be asked to write an English composition Placement Essay.
