ACCUPLACER College Skills Placement Test
Placement for college courses begins with ACCUPLACER testing.
Our placement testing process is purposed to provide information about your current skills in the English language and in mathematics.
There is no charge for the test; however, prior to testing, you must have completed an application with
our registration office. Results of the test will be used, along with other information, to place you
in the courses appropriate for your level of preparation. Results of the placement test will not affect
admission to the college; however, scores may affect eligibility for certain courses and programs.
The ACCUPLACER computerized placement test is given mostly by appointment with some walk-in opportunities
in the Academic Testing Center on the
West Windsor Campus (WWC) and by appointment only at the
James Kerney Campus (JKC). You may call for an appointment
at (609) 570-3295 (WWC) or (609) 586-4800 ext. 6695 (JKC).

A companion paper and pencil placement test is also available for those who are not comfortable testing on computer. If this applies to you, be sure to request the paper and pencil format when you make your appointment.
Students should take the test prior to registration. If you have taken the test at another
college, please arrange for an official copy of your scores to be sent to:
Academic Testing Center - LA216
Mercer County Community College
P.O. Box B
Trenton, NJ 08690
