You can only take the PSAT once per year, and many students take the test in 11th grade. If you earn a high score on the PSAT your 11th grade year, you could qualify to receive a National Merit Scholarship. (10th grade students are also welcome to test)
The ACCUPLACER® is used by Southeast Community College for Admissions and can be taken at any time.
The ACCUPLACER® is a suite of computerized tests that determines your knowledge in math, reading and writing as you prepare to enroll in college-level courses.
