As a part of our efforts to provide continued work-based learning during the COVID -19 Pandemic, we are launching a virtual Industry Deep Dive series.

Holiday ACCUPLACER Testing
What is the ACCUPLACER?
The ACCUPLACER supports students ready to start earning credits toward their degree as well as those who need to develop their skills before taking college-level courses. ACCUPLACER scores let students know where they stand academically, which makes it easier for them to plan a successful path toward a college degree.
The ACCUPLACER is also used by Trident Technical College to determine optimal placement in DE College Level courses. There is no testing time limit, however, most complete the exam in approximately 90 Minutes.
- Lunch will be provided.
- Virtual and in-person students welcome!
- Open to 10th, 11th, and 12th graders.
