What kind of placement testing must I take? All students are required to take the CUNY/ACT Assessment Test in Reading, Writing and Mathematics for purposes of placement prior to registering for their first semester. However, you can be exempted from taking the CUNY/ACT TEST by any successful combination of the following criteria: * If you scored 480 or above on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) you will be exempt from the ACT/CUNY Reading Assessment Test, Writing Skills and Writing Essay. * If you scored 480 or above on the mathematics section of the SAT you will be exempt from the CUNY Math Test. For more information review “ACT Placement Tests” and “How to Prepare” under the 4th step of the admission process (http://www.lagcc.cuny.edu/admission/after_admitted.aspx). Can I request test accommodations when taking the CUNY Placement Tests? After you have been accepted to LaGuardia, you should contact the Program for Deaf Adults (PDA) Office to request testing accommodations for the CUNY Placement Tests.
