Accuplacer Testing |
With the assistance of Middlesex Community College, Nashoba Valley Technical High School will be administering the Accuplacer test to all grade 11 students during the week of October 26. Students do not need to sign up for the test and there is no cost to the student or the student's family. At times, education professionals need additional information about students' academic skills to determine if developmental classes would be beneficial before the students take college-level work. How do you accurately assess students' academic skills in order to effectively recruit, advise, and place them? ACCUPLACER is a suite of computer-adaptive placement tests that quickly, accurately, and efficiently assess reading, writing, and math skills. Scoring is virtually immediate, providing the best kind of feedback for the test-taker. Individual student score reports are available immediately after testing. These score reports contain student test scores, custom messages from the institution, and information about course placement based on institutional placement scores.
