Placement Testing Schedule

Bucks County Community College is currently offering a remote testing solution for placement testing. Students will be able to test at home through their own computers. Students must first apply to the College. Instructions for testing will be sent in their acceptance letter. If you have already been accepted to the College and want to test remotely, please email testing@bucks.edu for instructions. When emailing us, please include your name, as it appeared on your application, your seven-digit Bucks ID number, and your Date of Birth.

In-person testing is available in Newtown on a walk-in basis. Please view the schedule below.

**If English is your second language, your Placement Tests must be taken at our Testing Center. Please refer to the schedule for available hours.**

Information for prerequisite approval via transcripts from another college for guest and transfer students are posted on the Admissions and Registrar Page.

If you have any questions regarding the placement tests you are required to take, testing waivers, or the next steps in the enrollment process, please email info@bucks.edu.

If you have questions regarding the tests themselves, please contact the Testing Center directly at testing@bucks.edu or 215-968-8466.

 

In-Person Testing

In-person Placement (Assessment) Testing is available in Newtown. Appointments are not necessary. Up-to-date testing schedules are always published on this web page.
