What is Placement Testing?

The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) determines initial course placement for English, Reading, and Mathematics courses.

View the Maricopa Community Colleges Placement Chart

Placement testing is required for:

  • Students who are new to college and are pursuing a degree or transfer pathway
  • Students taking their first college English, reading, or math course or any college course for which English, reading, or math is a prerequisite
  • Students who are admitted as "Special Admission" (taking college classes while still attending high school)

Placement Testing is:

  • Free
  • Not timed
  • Computerized

EdReady scores do not expire. Accuplacer and CELSA scores are valid for 2 years. A “Reading Exempt” score never expires.

If you have a documented disability that requires testing accommodations on the Accuplacer test, please contact Disability Resources and Services.
