What is Placement Testing?

The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) determines initial course placement for English, Reading, and Mathematics courses.

Placement testing is required for:

  • Students who are new to college and are pursuing a degree or transfer pathway
  • Students taking their first college English, reading, or math course or any college course for which English, reading, or math is a prerequisite
  • Students who are admitted as "Special Admission" (taking college classes while still attending high school)

Placement Testing is:

  • Free
  • Not timed
  • Computerized

EdReady scores do not expire. Accuplacer and CELSA scores are valid for 2 years. A “Reading Exempt” score never expires.
