The Accuplacer test is an achievement test used by Nicolet College to assess academic readiness. It is important to note that we do not use this test to screen people out of college programs, but rather to help them choose courses that will help ensure their college success. Most students starting college require preparatory course work in one or more areas, especially those who have not been in school for a long period of time. Therefore, if after testing you find that brush-up is necessary for you, look upon it as a natural step in the educational process. For many people, preparatory course work can be done in conjunction with program classes, so there is not a wait to start school.
As noted above, the longer it has been since you have been in an academic environment, the more likely it is that you will require some sort of preparatory course work. This can be started before taking the Accuplacer test, and may enhance your scores on the test. We offer free access to SkillsTutor a software program which provides tutorials in reading, writing, math, biology, and chemistry. You may register for access to this online service at the Academic Support Center, Art Tech - Room 203. After registering, it will be available to you anywhere you can access the Internet. For more information on SkillsTutor, call Sandy Jenkins at 715-365-4693.
