Your Algebra Homework Can Now Be Easier Than Ever!

About ACCUPLACER

We suggest four test-taking strategies:

1. Take your time. The test is not timed. Relax and choose your answers carefully without
worrying about the clock ticking.
2. Read Carefully. Be sure to understand exactly what each question requires.
3. Think Carefully. The test requires one to complete or substitute information for parts of given
sentences. Response should reflect clear language use.
4. Write before choosing an answer. Use scratch paper to experiment with answers. Be sure to
understand the given options before answering.

****REMINDER:
All tests have a score range from 0-120. This is not a grade. IVCC Faculty members
have taken this score and translated it into a PLACEMENT.

Descriptions of the tests

Reading Comprehension
This test is designed to measure how well you understand what you read. It contains 20
questions.

Sentence Skills
Two kinds of questions are given in this test. You will be asked to correct a sentence by
choosing a word or phrase to substitute for an underlined portion of a sentence. In the other type
of questions, you will be asked to rewrite a sentence in a specific way without changing the
meaning
. You will be presented a total of
