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.
