What is the Accuplacer test?
The Accuplacer test is a standardized test that is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to assess a student’s grade-level competency. It is not a timed test, so you can take as long as you need to complete it.

The
Accuplacer test is part of the Higher Education Act of 1965, Section 484(d) that
allows a student who does not have a high school diploma, its recognized equivalent, or who did not complete a secondary school education in a home school setting to qualify for Pell Grant funding through the Ability-to-Benefit program.What are the necessary steps?
