Preparing for Retesting

Please visit the Camden County College website at http://jqrb.253000xa.com/admissions-financial-aid/testing-center/placement-test-preparations/ for links to sample tests, videos, etc. to help you prepare.

CollegeBoard has an interactive Accuplacer practice site at: http://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/students/prepare-for-accuplacer/practice. The CollegeBoard site will require you to create a free account and features practice tests in Reading and Math. For Writeplacer Essay and ESL Tests, please visit the Camden County College link above. The Accuplacer site includes:

  • “Learn as you go” tests provide you with explanation of the correct or incorrect responses.
  • You can save your work at any time, and come back when it’s convenient for you.
  • You can review your score history to see what you’re already doing well and what skills you should focus on improving.

Did you place into an Academic Skills Math class (MTH 011, MTH 016, MTH 029, MTH 035)?

To improve your math skills before you retest, you can use EdReady. EdReady is a free online tool that assesses your math level and provides you with customized learning materials. This program is self-paced. It can take several weeks to complete the program, based on your current math skills and the amount of time you spend working in EdReady.

  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and under “General Math Placement Test Prep”, select “Start Diagnostic”
