A short tutorial with sample questions will show you how to take the test. Be sure you understand test instructions before beginning.  \nTake your time and work at your own speed. There is no time limit. Scores are determined by the number of correct answers. It is to your advantage to take your time.  \n* Placement in courses is based upon test scores.  \n* Placement test scores are part of the selection criteria for special admissions programs.  \nSkill areas include reading, writing (English) , and math:  \n• Next-Generation Reading assesses the test-taker’s ability to derive meaning from a range of texts and to determine the meaning of words and phrases in short and extended contexts.  \n• Next-Generation Writing evaluates a test-taker’s ability to revise and edit multi-paragraph text.  \n• The mathematics tests cover quantitative reasoning, algebra, statistics, and functions.  \nTips for Taking ACCUPLACER Tests  \n1. Relax! The ACCUPLACER tests are designed to help you succeed in school. Your scores help determine which courses are most appropriate for your current level of knowledge and skills.  \n2. You will be able to concentrate better on the test if you get plenty of rest and eat properly before the test. Please arrive a few minutes early so you can find the testing area, restrooms, etc., and have time to gather your thoughts before the test begins.  \n3. Be sure you understand directions before beginning each test.  \n4. Read each question carefully until you understand what the question is asking. If answering an item requires several steps, be sure you consider them all.  \n5. Be sure to answer every item. You are not penalized for guessing. Your score will provide more useful placement information if you answer every item, even if you guess.  \n6. Don't be afraid to change an answer if you believe that your first choice was wrong.  \n7. If you have a problem or question during the test, raise your hand, and the test proctor will help you. Although they cannot answer test questions for you, they can help you with other issues.  \nNext-Generation Reading Test  \nThe Next-Generation Reading test is a broad-spectrum computer adaptive assessment of testtakers’ developed ability to derive meaning from a range of prose texts and to determine the meaning of words and phrases in short and extended contexts. Passages on the test cover a range of content areas, writing modes, and complexities (relatively easy to very challenging) . Both single and paired passages are included. The test pool includes both authentic texts (previously published passages excerpted or minimally adapted from their published form) and commissioned texts (written specifically for the test) . Questions are multiple choice in format and appear as both discrete (stand-alone) questions and as parts of sets of questions built around a common passage or passages.  \n• 20 questions  \no 12 discrete questions—either single-sentence vocabulary or based on a short passage  \no 8","cbCaigsbQkjKYOBx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigsbQkjKYOBx","pdf",1024314,"English","# Lake Land College Placement Testing Policy\n# Tips for Taking ACCUPLACER Tests\n# Next-Generation Reading Test\n## Skills Assessed\n## Text Type and Length\n## Sample Questions","[{\"question\":\"How does the placement testing policy affect course placement at Lake Land College?\",\"answer\":\"Placement is determined by placement test scores (and ACT/SAT where applicable) together with program requirements.
