Placement Tests and Assessments

Who Needs Placement?

At Spokane Community College (SCC), some programs require placement exams or skills assessment, while others do not. To find out if your program requires placement testing, view our Placement Requirements Dashboard, or contact us at 509-533-7074 or or scc.testing@scc.spokane.edu.

Being placed in the right classes early in your college career makes it more likely you will successfully complete your degree or program. At the Placement and Testing Center, we help you begin your studies at SCC in classes that aren't too hard or too easy.

Math Placement FAQs
