Accuplacer (NG) Exam and Score Guides
Accuplacer is a computer-based test designed to assess an individual’s knowledge of
subject areas. Southeastern administers one subject area: English. This exam is used
to remove developmental requirements placed on a student based on ACT scores. The
Accuplacer exam may not be used in place of the ACT test that is required for Admission.
The Accuplacer exam is not timed. Accuplacer exams are administered Monday through

requirements if they have earned a final grade in the course (or its equivalent) at
an accredited college or university. A non-refundable administrative fee of $10 is
assessed for each exam.
