1 What to Epect on the Placement Eam Placement into: MTH 45 The ACCUPLACER placement eam is an adaptive test created by the College Board Educational Testing Service. This document was created to give prospective CLC student and other interested parties an overview of how the placement eam works and the types of questions one might epect to see on it. General Information: The eam is computerized. The eam is not timed. Questions are presented in a multiple-choice format. No partial credit is awarded. Scratch paper and a scientific calculator are provided to assist the eaminee with calculations. There is a limit to the number of times a student may take the placement eam. CLC Mathematics department wants each student to do as well as possible on the placement eam and makes the following recommendations: Prepare for the eam. Don t take it cold. Studying for the eam may decrease the number of math classes you are required to take. Free practice questions/answers are available online at the Accuplacer website, located at Other review materials are available at the Math Center. (847) Take the eam when you are rested and refreshed. Allow plenty of time for testing so that you can rela and fully concentrate on what you are doing. Triple-check answers before moving on to the net question. The computer only knows if your answer is right or wrong. It cannot tell the difference between a careless mistake, a minor error, or a major error. Stay calm if you don t know the answer to a question. Remember that the placement test is adaptive and is used to test many levels of mathematics. It increases or decreases the level of the questions based on your previous answers. A student desiring to place into Calculus (MTH 45) must first pass the twelve question Basic Algebra portion of the eam. The student will then be given the opportunity to answer questions from the College Mathematics portion of the eam. Any student intending to place into Calculus via the Math Placement Eam must be proficient with the types of eercises illustrated as eamples for entry into College Algebra (MTH )/Precalculus (MTH 45).
