The Academic Achievement Center (AAC) offers Placement Testing (English and Math Placement), Placement Testing Workshops (Free English and Math Placement Test PREPARATION) and Make-Up Testing (for missed exams).
PLACEMENT TESTING
All new students to MassBay seeking a degree or certificate are required by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education to complete placement testing soon after being accepted to the college. Placement tests determine the English and math classes with which you will begin your academic career.
A photo ID and an appointment are required to take a test in the AAC.
Placement Testing is the first step in the SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising and Registration) process. The following tests are required:
- Mathematics.
- English (Writing & Reading) for native speakers OR English as a Second Language (ESL).
Math and English tests together take approximately three (3) hours to complete.
