Now, look at an example math course. Analytical Geometry & Calculus I (MAT 140). It has no minimum required score for either Reading or English, but the minimum math (MPL) score for this course is 45. This student's MPL score is 10, which is significantly lower than 45. This student would not qualify for MAT 140.

What if I took the Accuplacer but did not earn qualifying scores?
Low scores show which area(s) you need to emphasize in your studies during your junior and senior year. Work hard to build your skills so that you will be ready for college coursework when you do graduate!
Students are not required to take dual-credit courses while in high school. If your scores were close to the minimum, you may want to retake that section(s) of the Accuplacer. The in-school testing opportunity is a "free pass" for students who wish to take dual enrollment courses. Students who do not take the in-school Accuplacer are only allowed to take it twice. This testing threshold is set by Accuplacer itself, not Anderson Five.
