CPT - Common Placement Test
- The Accuplacer CPT is used for placement at
all Florida community colleges for most degree programs.
- The test
will assess your content knowledge in reading, sentence skills,
and mathematics. Click here for free study guides.
- Tests are administered on a walk-in basis at testing center locations.
See hours and locations
page for details.
- As of July 1, 2009, there will be a $10 retake fee per subsection of the CPT.
- There are two (2) ways to be exempt from the CPT:
