If you have not already completed the ACT or your scores are beyond five years, the Accuplacer will evaluate your skills in arithmetic, algebra, reading comprehension, and sentence skills.  (Note the skills required vary by program.  See your program’s admission checklist for details.) 

You can complete testing at any NTC campus.  Please bring photo ID and $20 testing fee at the time of testing.
