The goal of the ACCUPLACER assessment test is to provide you and Merced
College with useful information about your academic skills in English and math. Your assessment results, along with your educational background and interests will be used by counselors to determine your course options.
ACCUPLACER is an adaptive test. Questions are selected for you on the basis of your answers to previous questions. This means the right questions are selected for you based on your ability level. Each test is untimed so that you can give each question as much thought as you need.
You can change your answer to a particular question before moving on to the next question, but you cannot skip a question, or come back to it later to change your answer. Upon completion of your test, a score report will be generated and your results will be printed and given to you.
Take this test seriously. Remember, your scores plus other educational experiences or performance will determine the course level at which you begin your higher education at Merced College. Retakes are not permitted unless approved by a counselor. NOTE: If English is NOT your primary language and you normally speak in your primary language and one of your goals at Merced College is to learn English, call
(209) 384-6323 for more information about testing.
