What is the Accuplacer test?

The Accuplacer placement test is written by College Board, the same company that writes the SAT.  It is designed to properly match the students skills and abilities to their initial General Education basic skills classes.  The test consists of three general areas:

Reading Comprehension         20 questions
Sentence Skills                          20 questions
Elementary Algebra                  12 questions

Depending upon your score in Elementary Algebra, you may also take a math subtest; Arithmetic or College Level Math.

When you are finished, you will receive a score report indicating which reading, English, and math courses you qualify to enroll in when you start at Vincennes University.

DO YOUR BEST... the results DO matter.  You may NOT retest on the Accuplacer test for placement.

Placement and Entry Testing Policy

All persons MUST present a photo ID to test.

The Assessment Center offers the Accuplacer placement test to any individual enrolling at Vincennes University, or contemplating enrollment at VU. The Center will test ANY individual desiring to take the placement test, however, the following guidelines should be considered and observed:

• If at all possible, the prospective student should FIRST fill out an application to the University. This provides a "home" for the test scores and minimizes the possiblity of scores not being posted to the student record and available to advisors for course registration.
• The test is required of all entering students as an ENTRY test, whether needed for placement or not.
• The test may be taken only ONCE.
• Students should take the test seriously and understand that the scores will determine their placement in their reading, English, and math classes.
• Retests are NOT allowed.
