College Readiness
Accuplacer assesses a student's readiness for college coursework. There are three sections in the test, measuring skills in English, reading, and math. When students are in high school, Accuplacer scores determine which courses a student is eligible to take.
Juniors at T.L. Hanna take Accuplacer in the fall semester and, if they earn qualifying scores, may take dual credit courses their senior year.
Students who do not earn qualifying scores on one or more sections of the test may retake that section(s) on their own and must provide qualifying scores to their school counselor by the deadline. * **
*Juniors who do not wish to take dual credit courses during their senior year may sign a form to opt out of taking the Accuplacer.
** Sophomores who are considering taking a dual credit course their junior year must make their own arrangements for taking the Accuplacer at the Tri-County or Anderson University campus. They must also take the initiative to discuss those plans with their school counselor during their IGP meeting and provide qualifying scores by the deadline.
