Placement testing

Placement tests in reading, English and math are generally required for all incoming students to ensure that you are placed into the most appropriate courses. You will need to schedule a placement test prior to registration if:

  • You have never taken ACCUPLACER placement tests at GCC or another Massachusetts community college
  • You have not taken college-level English and passed with a C or better at another college
  • You have not taken a college-level math course and passed with a C or better in the last five years
  • You have not taken the ACCUPLACER math test within the last five years
