Assessment Testing for PlacemenT: Steps
- Admission to TCC
Gain acceptance to the college by submitting an Application for Admission. Students must be admitted to the college prior to taking the placement tests, and should allow 48 hours for an application to be processed.
Once you have submitted your Application for Admission, you can take the tests on any campus as early as two semesters before you plan to enroll at the college and up until the beginning of the semester in which you plan to attend.
Early testing is a benefit to you. You will be ready to enroll in classes when registration begins and have access to the largest selection of classes available. Testing in early spring is a great time for potential June high school graduates to take the placement tests.
- Take Practice Tests in Preparation
All students are encouraged to prepare
for placement testing. Resources are available to help students perform at their
optimum--and TCC recommends that students utilize the resources available so that they may
perform at their best when taking placement tests. Preparation materials vary by
English and math, and also vary by a student's academic background.
