During your time at Johnston Community College, you may have the opportunity to take advantage of a variety of testing services. While some of our tests are used in the admissions process, others are designed to assess your academic ability before entering a program of study. Testing serves as an integral part of one’s academic career and we are pleased to offer these services to our students.
Tests we offer include:
ACCUPLACER
The ACCUPLACER is a 3-4 part free computerized assessment used as part of the admissions process for placement purposes. A letter or email with an assigned testing date is sent only after all application materials and transcripts have been received.
The ACCUPLACER can accurately assess your level of readiness for college level math and English coursework. The assessment covers Reading Comprehension, Sentence Skills (English), Elementary Algebra, and Arithmetic. A report containing your results is available after testing and interpretation of your results is completed during your admissions interview.
The following websites may help students review important concepts presented on the ACCUPLACER:
