Hello future DACC Student!
Please fill out the following form to register for DACC's placement test. DACC uses ALEKS for the math placement and Accuplacer reading and Writeplacer for the English placement. The placement test is to help determine your level of skill in one or more academic areas. The scores you receive will be used to assist in determining the most appropriate courses based on your demonstrated skills. This is not a pass/fail test and is only meant to help you become best prepared for future college level courses.
Placement test scores can be used for enrollment in Dual Enrollment, College Express, Middle College, and Project Lead the Way. Accuplacer (Reading and Writing) scores are valid for 3 years. ALEKS (Math) scores are valid for 1 year.
If you feel the scores you received do not indicate your skill level, you are allowed to retest. The math placement provides a diagnostic, as well as an opportunity to utilize Prep and Learning Modules. Once you have completed 3 hours within those modules, a second opportunity for testing will become available. The English placement can be retaken for a $15 test fee, 48 hours after the initial session.
