Accuplacer is an untimed, computerized test used for admission purposes and to evaluate your skills for course placement in reading, writing, and math. Formatting of the test is available on the CollegeBoard Accuplacer website.
To determine your course placement, refer to the Test Score Placement Guide on our home page.
NOTE: Accuplacer scores are valid for five years. If your scores are older, you must retake the exam to be admitted unless an admissions advisor has otherwise specified.

Testing at a center other than UA Little Rock

If you are unable to travel to the UA Little Rock campus, it may be possible for you to find a testing center closer to you using the Consortium of College Testing Centers (CCTC). If you do not find a center on the CCTC webpage, simply ask an institution, convenient to you, if they are willing to proctor. Be aware that most institutions will assess a test administration fee. This fee is not reimbursable to you by UA Little Rock.

Contact Testing Services: 501-916-3198 or proctor@ualr.edu. The Testing Services Director must approve your selected proctor and will also assist you and the proctor with the simple set-up of your exam.
