These tests are designed to provide information about your incoming knowledge, placement tests are not pass/fail. Results will be used to help place you in the courses appropriate for your level. These tests are important to your success at Rutgers, so please take them seriously and do your best independent work. This will ensure that you begin studying at the right level to succeed in your classes.  \nTEST DESCRIPTIONS  \nNote: Test questions vary with each test. Once you begin a test, you must complete it in one sitting; you cannot stop time on a test.  \nMath: The Math test is online and is allotted 3 hours. Most students take 60-90 minutes. It’s an adaptive test and consists of up to 30 open-ended questions. It can be taken twice if you’re unsatisfied with the first score.

Click here for details.  \nEXEMPTIONS:  \nMath and English testing are required unless you qualify for an exemption. Refer here for more information on placement test exemptions.  \nNOTE FOR TRANSFER/CONTINUING STUDENTS:  \nTransfer/continuing students only need to test if advised to do so by a Rutgers advisor or if indicated on their transfer summary/credit evaluation.  \nACCOMMODATIONS (SECTION 504)  \nIf you need testing accommodations (e.g. extra time, reader, scribe), please register with the Office of Disability Services and receive approval for accommodations before testing. Tests can only be taken once, except for the math placement test, which can be taken twice. Please visit this link for more information.  \nPLACEMENT TEST  \nGENERAL INFORMATION  \nWHEN AND WHERE TO TEST  \nPlacement tests are administered online and should be completed in a quiet environment with a strong internet connection. Please use laptops or desktops – do not use cellphones or tablet devices. Please complete your placement tests within 30 days* of accepting the Rutgers offer of admission so that your results are available before you meet with an advisor.  \n*Students who accepted their offer of admission while the testing cycle is closed have 30 days to complete testing once it reopens.  \nIndividual placement tests (Math, English, and, if required, World Language) must each be completed in one sitting. You may do all required tests consecutively, or you may decide to take a break for one evening. Once you begin testing, you must complete all required assessments within 72 hours of submitting the first test. The math retest does not fall under the 72-hour timeframe, however, it should be completed within one year (365 days) of the first attempt, or sooner. See the “Math Retesting” section for more information, or refer to this link for complete details. If you are currently enrolled in a Rutgers math class or completed a Rutgers math class, you should not retest.  \nACCESSING THE PLACEMENT TESTS  \nFollow these steps in order:  \n1) Confirm your Rutgers status and pay your $150 enrollment deposit if you have not done so already. You should then be able to proceed to the placement testing links 2 business days after paying the deposit.  \n2) Read through our webpage to access the tests using your NetID.  \nTESTING REGULATIONS  \nThese tests are designed to assess your incoming knowledg","cbCaimAKXGdjTpLs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAKXGdjTpLs","pdf",216562,"English","# Purpose of the Tests\n# Test Descriptions\n# Exemptions\n# Note for Transfer/Continuing Students\n# Accommodations (Section 504)\n# Placement Test - General Information\n## When and Where to Test\n## Accessing the Placement Tests\n# Testing Regulations\n# The English Test","[{\"question\":\"Do Rutgers placement tests have pass/fail results?\",\"answer\":\"No. The tests are designed to provide placement information based on incoming knowledge and do not use a pass/fail model.\"},{\"question\":\"How long is the math placement test and what format is it?\",\"answer\":\"The math placement test is online, allotted 3 hours, and most students take 60–90 minutes.
