The ACCUPLACER is a series of assessments designed to evaluate a student’s skill in reading, writing and math. The scores are used by colleges to determine a student’s readiness and placement into credit-bearing college courses.

As an official ACCUPLACER testing site, we can help you prepare, administer the test, and submit scores to the college of your choice.

For more information call 207-647-3015 or use the Register Online button and we will contact you.

This comprehensive assessment will let you know if you have the computer skills needed to be successful in school, work and at home. After testing, if you need to improve your skills, we can help you design a learning plan, either in a class or in personalized online lessons you can do from your own home!
