Welcome to SCC's Assessment Services! Placement tests are not required for English, math or reading courses. The only placement tests we administer at this time is Chemistry.
All students are required to apply to SCC in order to obtain a course placement recommendation in English, math and reading. High school performance information or Guided Placement will be utilized for English, math and/or reading course placement recommendations. All students have access to transfer-level English, American College English (ACE)/English as a Second Language (ESL), and math courses.
