Accuplacer Study Guides

The Office of Testing Services strongly suggests that you review for the Accuplacer examination.

New Student Accuplacer Practice App

The free ACCUPLACER study app is getting a refresh and a new URL location. Updates to the app were made so that the practice students receive more closely resembles the real testing environment. The same great features like Learn As You Go are still available, and students can continue to save their practice history.

The new app  went live September 28 with the existing app retiring shortly after. On October 14, a redirect has been created so anyone accessing the old URL will automatically be taken to the new website.  However, you will want to eventually update any bookmarks or postings of the old practice app location, with the new one.

ACCUPLACER Web-Based Study App

We recommend you study and prepare the Accuplacer test using the free Accuplacer Study App; it gives immediate feedback and tips/hints for improvement.
