Accuplacer’s Next Generation tests are used to determine college readiness and skill level in English and math. Students can take one, two, or all three eligible Next Generation tests depending on their program of study, course choices, or high school GPA. Determination of placement testing needs will occur during the admission process.

CCC&TI’s Placement Retest Policy
Students/applicants are allowed only one retest per subject in one calendar year based on the date of the original placement test. If a student retests, the highest score on each section will be used for advisement and course placement. Once enrolled in a developmental course and the course has started, a student may not retest in that course subject until the course has ended.
In order to retest, a student/applicant must:
- Contact TJ Wilkie at twilkie@cccti.edu for the PLATO study website.
- Complete ten (10) hours of self-study arranged through CCC&TI’s Academic Support Center.
- Schedule an appointment to retest with the Testing Center.
- Bring 1). confirmation of the ten (10) hours of self-study (printout or documentation from the Academic Support Center) and 2). receipt from the business office.
