📋 About the ACCUPLACER
ACCUPLACER is a suite of computer-adaptive placement tests developed by College Board to assess college readiness and determine appropriate course placement for incoming students. Used by community colleges and universities nationwide, ACCUPLACER tests reading, writing, and math skills to place students in courses that match their ability level - whether college-level classes or developmental/remedial courses. The tests help ensure student success by providing accurate skill assessment without the high-stakes nature of admissions testing.
