Accuplacer

Before taking the Accuplacer, please speak with an advisor to determine if it is necessary. 

The Accuplacer is a suite of computer-adaptive assessments, designed to evaluate knowledge in reading, writing and mathematics.  

It is possible that ACT/SAT/GED/HiSet/TASC scores, high school GPA or completed college courses can be used as Accuplacer equivalency.  Please submit UNOFFICIAL transcripts, to assessment@aims.edu, for evaluation.
