Placement Tests

FDTC offers Test-Optional Admissions Procedures. If you choose not to send placement Test Scores, you will receive Multiple Measures Scores, derived from your High School Transcript, Diploma, GED, or College Transcript. These scores will place you into the appropriate courses based on your academic achievements. If you have SAT, ACT, or Accuplacer Next-Generation Scores from within the last five years, we encourage you to send these scores, along with your transcripts and diploma.

  • Students are required to meet the appropriate placement test scores in Reading, Writing, and Math in order to be accepted into their respective curricula.
  • Students who do not meet the appropriate placement test scores to enter their curriculum will be placed in developmental courses. Additional placement testing may be required in some cases.
  • All re-tests being taken within 1 year of any previous Accuplacer Next-Generation testing will require payment of a $10.00 re-test fee, payable in the Business Office. Payment receipts must be presented to the Testing Center at the time of re-testing.
  • Students who require special assistance or accommodations for testing should contact the Office of Student Disabilities at 843.661.8124.
