  3. Math and English Skills Assessment can be taken at a convenient time, either in-person at one of our locations or online. Students are able to register for courses before completing the assessment, but the assessment is needed in order to register for MAT 101, MAT 201, MAT 205, MAT200 or ENG101. The results of the assessment allow us to place you in the appropriate level Math and/or English class. Based on the assessment results, you may be placed in English Essentials (ENG110), English Review (ENG 095), Math Essentials (MAT110), or Mathematics Review (MAT095) prior to a higher level course. Students who feel the need to review basic math or English skills may elect to enroll in either Math Review (MAT095) or English Review (ENG095) courses. Students who score a 450 or above on either section of the SAT’s are exempt from skills assessment in that area.
