Welcome to SCC's Assessment Services! Placement tests are not required for English, math or reading courses. The only placement tests we administer are American College English (ACE)/English as a Second Language (ESL) and 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 Self-Placement will be utilized for English, math and/or reading course placement recommendations.
No access to High School information? Take our English/Reading and/or math Guided Self-Placement
