Take a Placement Test
Placement Test Purpose
St. Louis Community College uses multiple measures to help you know the right courses for you. Your high school grade point average, previous college course work, test scores and other measures are used to determine the course work that is best for you and allows you start college with confidence.
Testing May Be Waived
STLCC may waive the reading and/or the English portions of the placement test if you provide documentation of one of the following:
• A college transcript or grade report documenting successful completion (with a C or higher) of reading and course prerequisites.
• A 7 or 8 semester cumulative GPA of 2.6 or higher, can waive reading and English portions of the test.
• College credit from an accredited post-secondary institution will grant reading proficiency.
• An ACT score earned within the last three years:
– A reading score of 18 or above for reading proficiency
– An English score of 18 or above for entry into a college level English course
– A Math score of 19 or above
• HiSet Score within the last 3 years of 5 or higher, or a GED score within the last 3 years of 165 or higher.
Get Prepared
Test preparation gives you an opportunity to become comfortable with the placement test’s content, format and mode of delivery. With preparation, you may benefit from higher course placement. Accurate assessment is particularly important if you receive financial aid and have limited funds. Visit stlcc.edu/placementprep to access practice test.
How much time should I plan to take the placement test? The test is not timed, but you’ll need about two hours to complete the placement test. Here’s a success tip: you can take the test in sections. You don’t have to take it all at once –giving you even more time to prepare and do your best. Bring your photo ID and your student ID “A” number.
Can I retake all or part of the test?
A $10 fee is charged for test retake sessions. Only two retests per calendar year are allowed and you must wait 24 hours. Visit stlcc.edu/testingcenters for more information.
Disability Accommodations
If you need accommodations due to a disability, contact the Access office at stlcc.edu/disability prior to testing. You may be asked to provide documentation of your disability. For more information call the Access office at the campus of your choice.
Testing Times
All testing will be stopped 15 minutes before office closings.

If you do not register, the next student on the waitlist will be notified.
Getting on a waitlist does not guarantee a seat in a class. Waitlisting a class does not count toward your student status (i.e. full-time, part-time). There is no charge to waitlist a course.
For more information, visit stlcc.edu/waitlist
Credit-Hour Limit
You may take a maximum of 18 hours in the fall and spring semesters and 12 hours in the summer. Permission may be granted for an overload by a student success manager.
