To give you an idea about what the tests are like, pick up hard copies at the Assessment Center in Building 2, Room 2232.

Please make an appointment by clicking on "placement testing" on the left, or contact us at (650) 738-4150 for the latest testing schedule. Drop-ins may stop by the Assessment Center during business hours, and are welcome based on seat availability, but keep in mind that it takes about 2-1/2 hours to take all of the tests. Late afternoon and evening appointments can be arranged.

Students are exempt from testing if they have an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science or higher degree or if they have already passed a college English or mathematics course.

If you plan to earn a degree or certificate, transfer to a four-year institution, or just take a math or English course, we need to assess your skill level before you register for classes. Don't be worried about the placement tests. They are there to help you start college at the right level. Placement testing will evaluate your math, reading and writing skills. You will get your scores right away and your counselor will use this information to help you choose the classes that are right for you.
