Second and Third Placement Test Attempts
- A student is allowed to retest a total of two times in each subtest area.
- Remediation is required prior to retesting in each area of deficiency - see remediation information below.
Remediation Requirements for First-Time in College / Readmit / Transfer Student
- FSW uses Accuplacer Next-Generation for placement testing.
- A student can take each section (reading/writing/math) two more times if a college-level score is not achieved on the first attempt.
- Taking the Accuplacer Next-Generation exam is free of charge for all admitted students.
Please Note:
- If the student exhausted all three attempts for each subtest area, Accuplacer placement scores from another institution will not be accepted.
If your score places you into developmental coursework, FSW provides alternate routes of completion. Please refer to the Developmental Course Completion Routes (PDF) to view your completion options.
