Placement Testing
FLCC requires all incoming, degree-seeking students (as well as any individuals seeking to enroll in Freshman English) to complete computer-based ACCUPLACER placement tests. The results of these tests, in combination with previous academic work, are used to assure proper placement in courses.
All students complete tests in Reading Comprehension and Sentence Skills. Each test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, and there is no time limit for completing the tests. The tests are user-friendly, even for students who have no computer experience. A proctor is available during testing for assistance. View a sample exam.
Students who will not have a high school diploma or GED certificate before attending FLCC will need to take the Ability to Benefit test. These students should identify themselves as non-high school graduates when they call for appointments.

Foreign Language Testing
Students who have no formal language instruction but intend to study a foreign language at FLCC may take the beginning language courses (SPN 101, FRN 101). Those who speak or have studied the language in the past must take a placement test. The test may be taken at the College library (visit library.flcc.edu/hours.cfm for library hours). You may want to plan time to take this test on the same day you schedule your reading and writing tests. Students placing in an upper-level language course and successfully completing the course with a grade of C or better are eligible to receive three additional credits for the lower-level language class. Students in the Childhood Education program are required to complete six credits in foreign language.
* It is recommended that you complete testing before you come to FLCC to register for classes. However, if you would prefer to do placement testing and register for classes on the same visit to the campus, and you have received your acceptance letter from the college, go to www.flcc.edu/newstudentregistration and sign up to do testing and registration on the same day.
Note: Expect to be at the college for approximately 4 hours if you do testing and register on the same day.
