Take Your Placement Tests

Anoka Technical College (ATC) requires that all students declaring a major complete the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MNSCU) system-endorsed Accuplacer Computerized Placement Test (CPT).  The Accuplacer is sometimes referred to as 'college entrance exam' or 'new student assessment'. 

The tests measure your current skills level, not your potential.  You may start your program regardless of your test scores unless your program requires placement testing as a program prerequisite.

Accuplacer is not a pass/fail test.  The multiple-choice test is used to help you choose classes wisely so you will not enroll in courses that are too easy or too difficult for you.  Your scores will indicate whether you begin your college studies by registering for developmental or college-level reading, writing, and math courses. 

College-level courses.  A college-level course is a college or university course that meets college-level standards. Credits earned in a college-level course apply toward the requirements of a certificate, diploma, or degree. 

Developmental-level courses.  A developmental-level course is a course designed to prepare a student for entry into college-level courses. Developmental-level course credits do not apply toward a certificate, diploma, or degree.
