Welcome to Testing and Assessment Services at AACC. There are lots of reasons you may need to take a test: as part of the application process, as an assessment for a college class or as a final step in earning a professional certification. While we know testing can be stressful, we think of testing as an opportunity for you to take a step closer to achieving your goals.

Email our testing office at testing-arnold@aacc.edu for information on how to take your placement tests. All Accuplacer Placement Testing requires a prep course in Canvas before registering for the placement.
