ACCUPLACER Placement Testing
New students at Pittsburgh Technical College are required to take ACCUPLACER testing prior to the start of classes. ACCUPLACER is an assessment that measures your skills in English, Mathematics, and Reading Comprehension, depending on the requirements of your program. Completion of the test will allow our academic staff to schedule your first quarter courses, finalize your financial aid, and accurately plan the courses for your future terms. More information on the ACCUPLACER tests, including test details and links to practice questions can be found at https://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/student/practice.
Testing is available on the days and times listed below. Please choose the time that works best for you and report to the Visitors entrance on PTCs campus for testing. Testing begins promptly at the scheduled time, so be sure to arrive a few minutes early. You cannot be admitted to a session once it has begun.
Please test as soon as possible. The deadline for testing is one month prior to the start of classes. If you test within 30 days of your class start, you will not be eligible for exemption from classes or a reduction in tuition regardless of test scores.
The testings center is open Monday-Friday. Please use the form below to schedule a date and time. Contact your Admissions Coordinator if you have questions or need to make alternative arrangements.
