Assessment Preparation

You should refresh your English and math skills before taking the assessment so you can get the most appropriate placement.

Go during walkin hours to take assessments. Check the Testing center website for testing hours.

If you plan to take any math or other courses with math prerequisites (such as Chemistry or Physics) at BC, you will also need to take the ALEKS math assessment.
