Wondering about the Accuplacer?  Watch the videos below to learn more.  

STEP 1.  Schedule your test. 

DIRECTIONS TO SCHEDULE:  

Accuplacer testing appointments are now done online.  You will need a CCRI ID#, and your CCRI Username (CCRI Account Username Lookup) and Password (The default password is the first 3 letters of the username (first letter Capitalized) followed by underscore(_) and the last 4 numbers of the CCRI ID number (Jdo_1234).)

If you do not have a CCRI ID# yet, you must complete this writeable form - LINK - - download first, then type, SAVE and rename - return to  Sue in Unity or email to sue.lynch@metmail.org.  You can leave the course choice blank or add the course you are hoping to take if you get the needed score.

CLICK HERE to schedule.  You can also email accuplacer@ccri.edu, for information on testing appointments - You must include your full name, CCRI ID#, date of birth and phone number.

Other things to know: 

•  The Accuplacer takes about 2-3 hours, like the SAT, and you should be sure to take it seriously and do your best.

• Spend time with the study guide, below, and practice for the test.  If you are bothering to take this test, you want to do your very best.  Higher scores open up more classes and allow you to place out of some lower level classes and save you time and money.

• If you want to retake the test, you may be charged.  Also, you should take only the section of the test which you want to get a higher score in - like just retaking the math section.

• You may take the test in person or remotely. We strongly recommend you choose the in-person option at a testing center.

• If you want to take a course in the chemistry department, you also need to request a Chemistry Placement test using the same directions.

• If you require accommodations for this test, talk to your special educator at the Met and ask them to please contact the Office of Disability Services (DAS) before scheduling https://www.ccri.edu/das/ 

• Kindly send Sue (sue.lynch@metmail.org) the test results when completed so I can help with registration.  

• NOTE:  After scheduling, you will receive a confirmation email from CCRI and it will include directions to send your transcripts to the Office of Enrollment Service.  Patty Bamford, our Post-Met advisor who supports students at CCRI let us know this is not a requirement to take the Accuplacer.

AT THE CCRI TESTING CENTERS - When you arrive, you must have a photo ID (your Met ID or driver's license) to show the proctor.  Be sure to show up at least 10 minutes early - testing appointments start at a set time for all testers at that time.  You will not be allowed in if you are late.

REMOTELY (not recommended) - You can take the test at home and you must have a photo ID (your Met ID or driver's license) to show the AI proctor. Your computer must have a webcam and microphone; cell phones will not work.  There will be an online, AI proctor giving you directions and watching while you take the test.
