<\/span>What Do Your ACCUPLACER Scores Mean?<\/div>
\n

While GCC currently uses the Next Generation ACCUPLACER for testing, existing Classic ACCUPLACER scores may still be used for placement. English placement scores do not expire, math placement scores expire after five (5) years. Before enrolling in courses, the English placement tests can be taken up to three (3) times and math twice.<\/p>\n
