Purpose of the Placement Tests
The placement test used at Ramapo College of New Jersey is ACCUPLACER Online developed by The College Board.  The purpose of taking ACCUPLACER placement tests is to identify students' academic strengths and needs so that they can plan an appropriate schedule of course work.  ACCUPLACER will give students information about their skills in writing, reading, and mathematics, and will indicate what level they need to begin their college studies.  ACCUPLACER is administered online in a proctored testing lab at Ramapo College.  Test results and course placements will be given to students after completing the test.  Test results are valid for three years after date of test.  The use of hand-held calculators is prohibited.

Who Must Take ACCUPLACER Placement Tests?

• All first-year students whose SAT-Critical Reading scores are below 550
• All first-year students whose SAT-Mathematics scores are below 560
• All transfer students who do not satisfy the General Education requirements in English and/or mathematics through transfer credits
• All students who want to register for Precalculus or Calculus I

Placement testing is administered online in a proctored testing lab at Ramapo College. In the unlikely event of a power failure or Internet service problem, students will be rescheduled for a make-up test date without losing any of their work already completed.
