Every student planning to register for English and math courses at WNC must take placement tests. Testing will assess a student's current skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Test results will help students select appropriate courses to take at WNC. In some cases, there are also qualifying test scores for course enrollment.

Those with recent ACT/SAT scores (no more than two years old) or with appropriate courses from other colleges may be exempt. Students who are not sure if they need to test should contact a counselor.

Board of Regents mandated ACT and SAT required scores:

	ACT	SAT
English 101	21	510
Math 120	21	510
Math 126	22	520
Math 128	25	560
Math 176	25	560
Math 181	28	630

The best predictor for college math placement is successful completion of the course prerequisite.
