ACCUPLACER Testing for Placement into University Preparation
Six ACCUPLACER tests (Next Generation) are used to assess the English and math skills of students enrolling in the University Preparation program. All tests are untimed except for WritePlacer, which has a one-hour time limit.
When does the ACCUPLACER testing take place?
Testing sessions take place every Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. at TRU Kamloops. For students living outside of Kamloops, the ACCUPLACER test can be completed off-campus.
