<p>Say you take a placement test and it puts you in a class you have already taken in HS - are you required to take the class that it says or is it just a suggestion?</p>
<p>Where do you take these tests? Can you do them at home?</p>
<p>How many times can you take the tests?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You do not take them until after you have been admitted and then you take them on-line. All are required to take the math placement test which is an ALEKS test (google that and you can get info) under which the the subsequent questions you get depend on prior answers, e.g., as you answer more and more corrrect, questions get harder and harder, and when you answer one wrong the next one is a little easier. Whether you have to take any other placement test depends on different factors, e.g., if you have already completed language requirement (4 high school years for some of the colleges, three for others) you need not take the language test. Chemistry and Physics depends on college and major.</p>
<p>OK thanks. So is the result a suggestion or a requirement?</p>
<p>You cannot take a course that is higher than the one established by placement test. Note, you can take the math test as many times as you want before going to summer orientation/registration and thus you can attempt to raise it to level you want since highest score determines issue. You can request through counselor to take a higher course than the tests show but more likely what you might be allowed to do is to take another placement test. Also note, you cannot take a course that is lower than the one determined by a placement test because you would get no college credit for it.</p>
<p>^Interesting, thanks a lot!</p>
