Enrollment Services and/or Advising should let the Testing Center know exactly what test the prospective student is to take upon arrival.
A copy of the ACT or SAT score report should at least go through Advising first.

Some students may be exempt from parts of the ACCUPLACER test under two conditions:

Students who have taken the ACT or SAT test 在过去的两年里 and scored appropriately in the individual English, Reading or Math tests do not have to take the corresponding ACCUPLACER test:

  • ACT 19或以上英语成绩, 或SAT阅读/写作成绩在480分或以上, 免除你的ACCUPLACER写作测试.

已完成课程的学生, or taken a placement test such as ASSET or ACCUPLACER at another college or university may be exempt from portions of the ACCUPLACER test. These students should first see an advisor or counselor before taking the ACCUPLACER test. Documentation is required and must be reviewed by an advisor to determine which portions of the ACCUPLACER test are needed for course placement. You will need to bring an unofficial copy of your college transcript or ASSET/ACCUPLACER scores when you come to the Advising Center to see an advisor. Without documentation, students will be required to take the entire ACCUPLACER test for course placement. Placement test scores from other colleges and universities that are not ASSET or ACCUPLACER scores cannot be used for course placement at Black Hawk College.

ACT and/or SAT score verification should still go through Advising first. Advising then can let the Testing Center which tests the prospective student will take.
