Preparing for the Test Day

Although what you know will determine how well you do on the placement exams, your attitudes, emotions, and physical state may also influence your performance. The following will help you to do your best:

  • Complete and submit an application for admission (Student Information Form)
  • Bring picture ID to the testing session.
  • If you do not have a high school diploma or GED and are planning on applying for financial aid, you must take the Writing, Reading and Basic Math assessments on the same form and in the same testing session.
  • Be confident in your ability to do well. You can!
  • Be prepared to work hard.
  • Know what to expect on the test day. Familiarize yourself with the information on this website. Review the practice test so you will feel comfortable with the test you are taking.
  • Prepare well in advance for the test.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before and do not test on an empty stomach. Be in good physical condition.
  • Arrive in plenty of time to complete all necessary paperwork before testing and have enough time to complete testing before the center closes.
  • Take some deep breaths - RELAX!
