TCC Accuplacer test

i812 · Jul 20, 2009

I am studying for Accuplacer at TCC, too, hoping to test out of Math on Friday. No tips, but lots of luck to us both! :)

Good luck!!! I am interested to see how you do! Did you say you are taking it on Friday? Is the testing center open on Fridays?

Thanks for pointing that out, I just called and the summer walk in hours at Northwest are Monday & Wednesday 8am-6pm and Thursday 8am-4pm. :)

I wish they did Fridays! That is my day off haha. Good luck!! I plan on taking it maybe next week. Do you know the guidlines on how often or how many times you can take it. I am applying to the nursing program next month so I have to pass it! :uhoh3:

I am in the same boat, need to pass in order to apply next month! This is the info I have (copy/paste from website):

Accuplacer test results are available as soon as the test is completed. If a re-test is needed, there is no waiting period for first time re-testers; however after that, there is a 30-day waiting period. The THEA may be taken after the Accuplacer without the 30-day waiting period.

Great! Thank you soooo much!! Good luck:)

smvtx23 ~ how was the accuplacer? I got waaaay sidetracked and am finally taking it next week.

It went good! I passed! At first I freaked out because I thought I had to pass the college portion of the test. I called the Nursing Dept to confirm and they said that they only require the elementary algebra portion for the application process!! Wohoo!

Awesome! Congratulations!

So just need 64+ on Elementary Algebra section, right?

Have you taken TEAS yet?

smvtx23 · Aug 21, 2009

I think it is a 63 but no more than a 64. I take the TEAS next Friday. Yikes!! What do you still have to take?

i812 · Aug 21, 2009

I take Accuplacer next week, then TEAS, then turn in application and sit and wait and wait and wait! :)
