A placement test study guide is available at the College's Admissions Office or online at http://www.beaufortccc.edu/stdserve/Testing/testing.htm. . After taking the placement test, you will receive your test scores and be assigned an academic advisor.
Placement testing may be waived under the following conditions:
· The student receives transfer credit for appropriate developmental course work.
· The student receives transfer credit for ENG 111 and the first required curriculum mathematics course.
· The student has taken the SAT with Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing scores at or above 450 each or the ACT with a composite score of 18 or higher.
