Placement Test Process
Please call (909) 274-4265 for an appointment
All students are required to participate in assessment for course placement. Assessing your current skills in English, math
and reading allows for placement into courses for which you will be most prepared to succeed in. Placing into your initial
courses which are appropriate to your current skill level assures success in subsequent courses and your eventual success
in achieving your academic goals. Also, many courses have prerequisites which must be met prior to registering for these
courses. You can meet the eligibility requirements by taking the prerequisite course, but you may also be able to attain the
eligibility through assessment.
Prior to assessing, all students are to attend a Placement Test Information Session. These sessions will provide you with a
better understanding of the assessment process here at Mt. SAC, as well as specific information regarding each placement
test you will take – English, math and reading – including the level of importance assessment is to your academic goals.
Please make an appointment through the Assessment Center – on the assessment web page, by phone, or in person – for
both the information session and placement testing. (Assessment Center – Student Services Center, Building 9B/
