Office of Testing Services

The Office of Testing Services offers academic placement testing assessments for English and Mathematics to new students intending to enroll at Bergen Community College.

Step #1 – Check for Waiver

  • Prior to taking the placement test assessments, please review our testing waiver policy
    You may not need to take the placement test assessments at all.
  • Waiver results will be sent to the student’s email address on file and the student’s academic records will be updated accordingly, when applicable.
  • To request a waiver, use the form below:

Step #2 – Placement Testing

Students that do not qualify for a waiver are required to take either the Directed Self Placement or the ALP/ESL English test and the Mathematics placement test.
To access the Directed Self Placement, log into your Bergen Student Portal (my.bergen.edu).

Notes:
1. Both the Mathematics and ALP/ESL placement tests must be taken in person, on campus.
2. Make sure to bring photo ID with you.  Please arrive before 4:00 p.m. to take the test.

After Testing – Meet with an Academic Advisor
