The Mat-Su College (MSC) requires two assessments to determine your level of skill and which courses are the most appropriate for your enrollment. The two assessments are the Accuplacer (English) and ALEKS (math). A student must meet the minimum score requirement on the Accuplacer and/or ALEKS to be considered eligible for enrollment. Assessments are proctored on the Mat-Su College Campus. Please note that you must register to take the Mat-Su Middle College Placement Test to waive the assessment fee for Accuplacer & ALEKS.
The Accuplacer benchmark score is 530. Accuplacer may be taken 2 times per semester, with a proctor, on the Mat-Su College Campus. You must pre-register for the Accuplacer assessment.
The ALEKS benchmark score is 30. ALEKS may be taken up to 5 times per school year, with a proctor, on the Mat-Su College Campus. Between each ALEKS assessment attempt, a student must complete a three-hour tutorial tailored specifically to the student after the assessment. You must pre-register for the ALEKS.
