Placement Tests

The purpose of Placement Testing is to determine accurate course placement based on a student's skills, abilities, and language needs in reading, writing, and mathematics. There are different kinds of placement tests for different purposes. Each type has specific testing criteria. Placement tests are Not Pass or Fail but are instead designed to place a student into the most appropriate course that matches their current skill level in that area.

ACCUPLACER ESL (LOEP)

The Broward College ACCUPLACER ESL (LOEP) is a multiple-choice format (except for WritePlacer ESL essay). Students taking this test are placed into classes according to their skill level. There's no time limit (except for WritePlacer ESL essay). Questions are presented based on individual's skill level. The response to each question drives the difficulty level of the next question. It's important to give each question as much thought as possible before selecting an answer. The ESL Reading Skills, ESL Language Use, ESL Listening, and NG QAS (Qualitative, Reasoning, and Statistics) math subtests of the ACCUPLACER ESL (LOEP) are adaptive. This means that the questions are chosen for you on the basis of your answers to previous questions. This technique selects just the right questions for your ability level. Because the test works this way, you must answer every question in the order it is given. You can change your answer to a particular question before moving on to the next question, but you cannot leave a question out or come back to it later to change your answer. If you do not know the answer to a question, try to eliminate one or more of the choices. Then pick from the remaining choices.

Visit the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Students section on the Placement Method Tables and Flowcharts webpage for more information.
