There are lots of reasons you may need to take a test: as part of the application process, as an assessment for a college class or as a final step in earning a professional certification. While we know testing can be stressful, we think of testing as an opportunity for you to take a step closer to achieving your goals.

Types of Available Testing

Depending on your goals, there are several categories of tests you may need to take at AACC. The links below describe the types of tests we offer, including step-by-step instructions for scheduling, preparing for and taking each exam.

Placement Testing for New Students

Welcome to AACC! Starting with 2019 fall enrollment, student may be able to use their unweighted 11th grade high school GPA to place into classes.
