If you are planning to go to college in the Summer or Fall you will need to take the Accuplacer Test for college placement.  This class is designed to help you prepare for the test and/or increase your scores so that you are admitted into a College Algebra class.

If you score at the college-level on your HISET math test you may waive the Accuplacer Math requirement for your local community college.

You may take the Accuplacer test at a local adult education program or at SMCC

There are five sections to the computer-based test (Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science) and our individual tutoring and classes help you prepare to take and successfully pass all five tests. Students are given pre-tests to determine whether or not you are ready to take the actual Official Tests or may need some preparation work. All services and tests are FREE.

You must meet with us for an Intake Session before starting a HiSET program, so be sure to contact us.

All Official Tests are administered by Scarborough Adult Learning Center  at Scarboorugh High School, by appointment only.
