Early College Entrance Exam:

Updated for COVID

Early College Entrance Exam: NOW TESTING FROM HOME!

**TESTING IS NOW REMOTE until further notice**

Here is everything you need to know:

If you have ONLY taken and passed ONE of the exams, be SURE to take the other test! Taking and passing BOTH tests is the only way to get your Associate's Degree and take all the classes available!
There are TWO early college tests. Math (ALEKS) and English (RTW). Choose which content you feel most comfortable with, and take that test first! You will need to receive a score of a 46 or higher on ALEKS and a score of a 6 on RTW to become eligible for college level classes.
