Your placement assessment is dependent on your admissions status at the college and if you have a high school degree or high school equivalency (GED, TASC, etc.). To determine which placement assessment you need and to learn more about it, please visit the Testing Center website at www.sunywcc.edu/testing Can you be waived from placement? Yes, you may be eligible for Placement Testing exemptions into college level courses using high school GPA, SAT, ACT, or Regent scores. For more details and scores required, please visit the Testing Center web page at https://www.sunywcc.edu/testing and select How to Waive the Placement Requirements. Who is eligible for a retest or challenge exam? To be eligible for a retest or challenge exam you may not have previously been enrolled in a course in the area being tested.
