Lakeland Placement Test

What is the Lakeland Placement Test?

Lakeland Community College requires placement testing in English and mathematics utilizing the Next-Generation ACCUPLACER placement test. It is an adaptive computer-based test which imposes no time constraints. Two exams are administered – writing and mathematics. Exams are not timed, but can typically be completed in about one hour.

The placement test is currently offered on-campus Monday - Friday.

Students may be exempt from placement testing if they:

  • Adequate GPA criteria.
  • Present satisfactory ACT or SAT scores in English and mathematics.
  • Earned a degree from another accredited college or university.
  • Register for classes as a transient student from another college or university.
  • Register for courses on an audit basis, including senior citizen audits.
  • Transfer to Lakeland from another accredited college or university with at least 15 semester credits.
