The placement test is designed to assess new college students for their readiness to be successful in college coursework. All Thomas Nelson students must take a placement test and receive qualifying scores prior to enrolling in college coursework.  \nWhy do I need a placement test?  \nThomas Nelson feels an obligation to ensure that you have the academic foundation to be successful in your college  \nclasses. The placement test is a required step in TNCC’s enrollment process. Students who have taken the SAT/PSAT or ACT may submit qualifying scores as an alternative placement. Your placement test results and SAT/PSAT/ACT scores are valid for 2 years.  \nWho needs to take a placement test?  \nAll new Thomas Nelson students—including Dual Enrollment students—must be assessed for their readiness for college coursework. There are only two exceptions: a) students who have already taken the SAT/PSAT or ACT and received qualifying scores for alternative placement, or b) students who have already taken college coursework in Math or English (prerequisite requirements still must be fulfilled) .  \nWhen and where do I take my placement test?  \nYou must take your placement test (and receive qualifying scores) prior to enrolling in Dual Enrollment courses. On‐Campus locations and hours are listed here: [www.tncc.edu/testing](www.tncc.edu/testing). Or, your high school may have testing sessions available at your school; see your high school guidance counselor in order to sign up for a test date. You must bring a valid picture ID on the day of the test. Additionally, you must complete your online TNCC Application for Admission prior to your test date in order to receive your Student ID Number; this Student ID Number is required to start your test.  \nWhat Should Students Bring with Them to the Test?  \nAll you will need for the testing session is a picture I.D. for identification purposes and two number 2 pencils. All other materials will be provided. A window calculator is provided. No Handheld or cell calculators are permitted.  \nWhat if I do not receive qualifying scores?  \nIf you do not receive a placement test score that qualifies you for Dual Enrollment courses, that’s okay! Remember that the test is a measure of college readiness, and some of the questions may cover information you have not yet studied in your high school curriculum. Use the results of your placement test to identify your academic strengthsand weaknesses and work on those areas while you are still in high school. You are allowed one re‐test per calendar year.  \nHow can I prepare for my placement test?  \nTaking the time to prepare for your placement test will make a difference! There are many resources available for you to use to prepare for your placement test.
