The ACCUPLACER Next Generation

The ACCUPLACER Next Generation is an entry-level placement test for degree seeking students in the Florida College System (FCS) according to Florida Statutes, Section 1008.30, Rule 6A-10.0315. This test will help determine your initial placement in English, reading and mathematics courses.

You could be exempt from this placement test if you meet any of the following:

• Started the 9th grade in 2003 or after and graduated from a Florida High School with a standard diploma
• Are an active duty member of any branch of the United States Armed Services
• Provide official ACT, CPT, and/or SAT scores less than two years old that place you in college-level course work at Valencia (See placement chart)
• Provide official transcripts of college-level coursework in English or mathematics with a "C" or better from a regionally accredited institution.

ACCUPLACER Next Generation Quick Testing Facts:

• All students who test at Valencia must provide a valid and original government-issued photo ID, such as a Driver's License, Passport, or Green Card.

• You cannot fail the test. The test is designed to determine the best placement for you based on your academic preparation.

• The test consists of three subtests:
• Reading- 20 questions
• Writing- 25 question
• Math-Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics (QAS)- 20 questions
• If you are required to take all three sections of the ACCUPLACER Next Generation, you must take the Reading and Writing portion prior to the Math section. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
