<p>Yes, I had to take it for dual enrollment and honestly it was much harder than I thought it was going to be. I barely scored high enough to take the advanced classes I wanted to and in the past I have been very good at math (at my high school I was 3 gra levels ahead in math).
I would recommend studying formulas and whichever subject has historically been the hardest for you in math, for me it was trig.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Not trying to scare you! Just informing you that it is more difficult than many assume.
Mine was not timed and I was allowed to use unlimited scratch paper.
Mine was very similar to that, except there was only a couple from each section and they were not in order.
Is your online or on paper? I believe accuplacer only does it on computers but I’m not positive…
If yours is the same set up as mine then on random questions there will be an option for a calculator which pops up on the screen, when it does USE IT! From what I could tell the questions where it popped up had someone hidden in them that involved either difficult decimals or very time consuming multiplication or division.
Good luck!</p>

<p>I took it over a week ago and it was pretty tough.
I scored a 59 on it and the administrator told me anything over 40 is considered really good.
I guessed on some of the questions though because I had an appointment after and was in a rush to leave.
Lots of functions and graphs which were such a pain to do on scratch paper.
All the other parts (english, basic math, etc.) were pretty easy I scored over 110 on each section.</p>

<p>Did you use a calculator ?</p>

<p>whats a good study guide for the accuplacer? I’m looking at the book by trivium test prep, has anyone used that one? any reviews? I’m mainly worried about the math and want some good practice so I know what to expect.</p>

<p>It’s okay. I took it for dual enrollment while I was in the middle of an advanced math class that used a College Algebra textbook, and I was JUST short of the score I would have needed to place out of College Algebra. I didn’t care though because I wasn’t taking math classes.</p>
