College Placement
At FSCJ, there are different ways to determine your placement:
College Placement Exams*
SAT: If you took the SAT in the last two years, log in to Collegeboard.org to send your official score report to FSCJ, or you can visit a campus Assessment Center to have your scores loaded. You'll need to know your login to Collegeboard.org, and you won't have to pay to have your scores sent!
ACT: If you took the ACT in the last two years, log in to ACT.org to send your official score report to FSCJ, or you can visit a campus Assessment Center to have your scores loaded. You'll need to know your login to ACT.org, and you won't have to pay to have your scores sent!
CLT: This test is a 2-hour standardized college entrance exam for 11th and 12th graders, acting as an alternative to the SAT and ACT. It consists of 3 sections: Verbal Reasoning, Grammar/Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning. You can visit a campus Assessment Center to have your scores loaded. You'll need to know your login to cltexam.com, and you won't have to pay to have your scores sent!
ACCUPLACER Next Generation: This test helps determine your readiness for college-level courses. It covers Reading, Writing, Quantitative Reasoning-Algebra and Statistics (QAS), and Next Generation Advanced Algebra and Functions (AAF).
P.E.R.T. (Postsecondary Education Readiness Test): This test assesses your skills in English, Math and Reading. It's not about passing or failing but helps place you in the right starting classes for success at FSCJ.
