Placement Testing

The Accuplacer computerized placement test (CPT) is one of the measures Delaware Tech uses to provide information about your skill levels in reading, English, and mathematics. This information along with other measures are used to help determine the general education courses that are most appropriate for you at this time. For students for whom English is a second language, there is also a component called the LOEP (Levels of English Proficiency).

Additional information about Admission Placement Testing: After you have turned in your completed Delaware Tech application, the next step may be to take the ACCUPLACER. For specific information about testing at each campus & scheduling, see information below:
