Testing Sign Up

Due to COVID-19, we are currently offering a “drive-through” testing service.

Test-takers will drive to the testing site and will take the test in their vehicle.  There cannot be anyone else in the vehicle.  The test-taker will show us a photo ID so we can confirm identity, then place their phone in a provided plastic bag.  We will ask you to put all other personal items in the backseat of the car.  The phone in the plastic bag will be stored while test is taken.  We will provide a sanitized laptop and piece of scratch paper on a clipboard to take the test. When the test is over, we will return the plastic bag with the phone to the test-taker.  We will collect the laptop, scratch paper, and clipboard.  Test-takers will stay in their car during the entire time  on campus.

We will take all necessary precautions (wearing medical masks and gloves) to protect your health and safety along with everyone involved.  Laptops and clipboards will be thoroughly cleaned between each use.

Test-takers will also be required to wear a face-mask to comply with CDC guidelines.

FAQ’s:
What is ACCUPLACER?

The ACCUPLACER exam is a computer adaptive college placement test used by Arkansas State University Mid-South to evaluate incoming student’s skill levels in reading, writing, and mathematics. These scores can also be used to place students in courses appropriate to their skill levels.

How many times can I take the ACCUPLACER exam?
Examinees may take each section of the ACCUPLACER once per day but no more than three times in a 30-day period.
