Preparing for Assessment 1

Preparing Students for the Assessment Test What is Assessment? How the Assessment test works? How to help students prepare?

WHAT IS ASSESSMENT? The Accuplacer assessment measures a student’s current skill level in English, Reading and Mathematics. The test questions are multiple choice and “adaptive". The assessment test does not have a time limit. (Average test time takes about 1.5 hours but could take up to 3 hours.) Since the test is designed as a one time only test, we highly recommend students study before taking the test. 3

Accuplacer Assessment Test 10/10 The Accuplacer assessment is separated into 2-sections: Math Section – Arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percentages. (17 questions) – Elementary Algebra: algebraic expressions, graphs, factoring, and ratios. (12 questions) – College Level Math: covers trigonometry and calculus. (20 questions) English Section – Reading Comprehension: read a passage and answer questions pertaining to that passage. (20 questions) – Sentence Skills: rearrange sentences to make them grammatically correct (20 questions)

How the Assessment test Works? English Section For a student to be placed into College Level English (English 101), the test system looks at the Sentence Skills and Reading Comprehension section to determine the student’s English placement. Possible score range is 20 to 120 Since the test is adaptive each question is weighted differently. The better the student does the harder the questions the higher the overall score. Reading Comprehension = RC / Sentence Skills=SS

How the Assessment test Works? 6 Math Section Before starting the test the student will answer a background question asking if they have had algebra before and received a “C” or better. If they answer Yes… If they answer No… There are two ways to place into college level math 1.Algebra score of or higher 2.College level math section score of 61.5 to Reminder score range is from 20 to 120
