How does ACCUPLACER work?

ACCUPLACER is an online format.  The test questions are based on your responses to each question you've already answered.  Questions increase or decrease in difficulty depending on your answers as you work through the test.  The tests are untimed, so you can move at a comfortable pace.  Your results will be available immediately after you take the test.  It is with these test results and other measures such as high school transcripts, college GPA, and academic rigor that your advisor will determine your course placement.
