Lakeland Placement Test
Lakeland Community College requires placement testing in English and mathematics prior to course registration utilizing the ACCUPLACER placement test. It is an adaptive computer-based test. Two exams are administered – writing and mathematics. Exams are not timed, but both can typically be completed in about two hours.
