What is the ACCUPLACER math test?

ACCUPLACER is a College Board placement test used by community colleges and universities to determine which math course a student should enroll in. It is adaptive — harder questions appear when you answer correctly. There is no passing/failing score; the result is a course placement recommendation.

Can I retake the ACCUPLACER?

Retake policies vary by institution. Many schools allow one or two retakes after a waiting period (often 24–48 hours). Targeted prep before your retake can meaningfully improve your placement and save you from taking remedial courses.

Does placing higher on ACCUPLACER save me money?

Yes. Placing into a higher-level course means fewer required remedial courses, which means fewer credit hours to pay for. A better placement can save hundreds to thousands of dollars in tuition and time.

Is there a calculator on the ACCUPLACER?

A calculator is provided within the testing platform for some sections of the Next-Generation ACCUPLACER. The Arithmetic section does not allow calculator use.
