A student might feel that they were not prepared. Sometimes a student might feel that their health was not optimal, thus preventing the successful demonstration of their skills.  Sometimes a student feels that the testing conditions were unsatisfactory. For these and many other reasons, retesting is allowed. Students are allowed one free retest. An applicant can take the ACCUPLACER examination twice within a 12-month period without any fees assessed. Additional retests within the 12-month period will be subject to fees. An applicant will be charged a fee of $10.00 per assessment for any retests within the 12-month period after the two free chances. There is a 24-hour waiting period between examinations; as additional time to study may be beneficial.
