What is the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) Test?
You should take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) Test if you did not learn American English as your first language and did not attend at least 10 years of school (elementary, middle, high school) in the United States — U.S. citizens and residents as well as international students. The test results determine English, ESL or reading placement and assessment levels. This test does not include any math questions. Non-native speakers of English who wish to take the Math section of the Accuplacer Test must take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test first. At the counseling session (IMAP), you will receive your scores and recommendations for classes. You will be able to take the Math section of the Accuplacer depending on your English scores. You may be exempt if you meet certain criteria. The ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) Test (sample) includes both multiple choice questions and a writing sample and lasts approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
