2. If you already attended Orientation but did not take your placement test:
   • Sign up for the placement tests you need.
   • After completion, go to the Center for Student Success (D-207) to meet with an advisor.
   • Rearrange class schedule based on your new test score as necessary.

No calculators are permitted for the test and no other outside materials are allowed. An online calculator will be available during the exam on the Accuplacer testing page on questions that the test permits use.  

The Math and Calculus Placement Tests are not timed. However, we have found that students typically spend 1 ½ hours on the test.

Please note, we will pause a test after 2.5 hours and request that you schedule a continuation session if you have not yet finished. We have found that success rates decline after 2.5 hours.

• First time: $50.00 (non-refundable) paid via credit card at time of registration.
  
• Re-test: $10.00 (non-refundable) paid via credit card at time of registration.
  

• Some majors require you take the Calculus Placement Test. If you are majoring within the school of Theoretical and Applied Science (ex: Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Computer Science, or Engineering Physics) you are REQUIRED to take the Calculus Placement. Even if you are exempt from the Math Placement Test, you still need to take the Calculus Placement. The only way to be exempt from the Calculus Placement Test is if you have college level credit for Pre-Calc or Calculus already. 
• Calculus Placement is NOT required for Nursing majors, psychology majors, or business majors.

Everyone passes the test. Students who place into developmental courses based upon the results of the placement test should plan to register for and complete these courses before or during their first semester of enrollment at Ramapo College.
