Placement Exam

All students who intend to enroll in English, math or reading courses; courses with a heavy reading content; or math content, those who plan to graduate or transfer credits to another institution; and concurrently enrolled high school students are required to complete the YCCD Placement Examination prior to enrolling in classes. The Examination assesses a student's reading, English, and mathematics skills. This assessment generates a profile of the student's skills, which, along with other factors (such as the student's past experience, grades, difficulty of current schedule, etc.) generate each student’s placement in English, Math and Reading. Counselors can assist student in selecting other appropriate courses to fill schedule. Assessment is a component of Matriculation.
