This week, our topic of discussion is “Taking Placement Exams”. The Testing Lab offers two English placement exams. One exam is titled “The Native English Placement Exam”, and the other is an “English as a Second Language” exam titled “Accuplacer”. This exam is for our international students. A Math Placement Exam is a prerequisite to many courses also.
Did you know the NVCC library has a lot of materials for students to prepare for these exams? For example, the Alexandria campus library has 50 copies of “Charting Your Success on Compass”. There are many other study aids the librarians can show you. Some are even online.
Which of the above exams have you taken? What has your experience been like taking a placement test here in the lab? Have you used the book “Charting Your Success on Compass”? Tell us what you studied before taking any of the Placement Exams? We want to learn from you. Blog us back.
