Can I take Accuplacer online?

Yes, you can take the Accuplacer online, but this option is exclusively administered through your institution. You cannot independently schedule a general online Accuplacer; access is provided by colleges for their admitted or prospective students.

The online format typically involves two distinct delivery methods:

  • Remotely Proctored Online Testing: You take the exam from a location of your choice using institution-approved proctoring software. This requires a reliable computer, webcam, microphone, and a secure environment.
  • On-Campus Online Testing: You schedule a session at the college's testing center, where you use their computers and are monitored in person.

To take the Accuplacer online, you must follow your institution's specific protocol:

  1. Contact the college's testing or admissions office to confirm they offer an online Accuplacer option and to obtain authorization.
  2. Fulfill all technical requirements, including system compatibility checks and software installation for remote proctoring.
  3. Schedule your exam during available time slots provided by the institution and adhere strictly to their check-in procedures.

Therefore, while the platform allows you to take the Accuplacer online, your ability to do so depends entirely on your college's policies and the logistics they have established. Always initiate the process through official institutional channels.
