Practice For Your Test

Students who have filled out and turned in their College of the Redwoods enrollment forms and have a current CR ID # can take English and math assessments.  All entering CR students must take assessments (as part of the matriculation process) in order to determine their current skill levels for placement into appropriate courses.  Assessments are given at scheduled dates and times and students must reserve a space in advance by contacting the Academic Support Center (ASC) at (707) 476-4106. These tests are computerized and students must be familiar with the use of keyboard and mouse. Accommodations are available for students with disabilities. For more information please contact the Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSP&S) at (707) 476-4280.

The Learning Resource Center (LRC) has a variety of resources available to help students prepare for their math & English assessments. The Library has numerous math texts in the general collection that students and community members can borrow once they have a library card.  To secure a library card, patrons need a valid photo I.D. and verification (such as a PG&E bill) of a local address within Humboldt, Mendocino, or Del Norte counties.

Important Reminders
  • Anyone taking an assessment MUST present a current photo ID at the time of testing or will not be permitted to take the exam.  Acceptable photo IDs include: a valid driver’s license, CR ID card, State ID, or passport. 
  • Results for all students are available after testing.
  • Returning and transfer-in students can register for their classes online through WebAdvisor 48 hours after their assessment testing.
  • Accommodations are available for students with disabilities.  Students requesting accommodations need to provide 24-hour advance notice to the Assessment Supervisor.
  • Students must know their CR ID # in order to take an assessment.
  • No personal calculators are allowed during the assessments.  
  • Anyone not complying with these terms will not be able to take a test.
Assessment Re-tests
  • For English re-tests, students must also have a referral form from Counseling/Advising. 
  • Once students have taken the Reading Comprehension & Sentence Skills assessment and enrolled in the English sequence of courses, there is no opportunity to re-test. 
  • Besides disputing initial placement results, there is an opportunity for students who place into English 350 to challenge the English 150 Competency Exam and be promoted to English 1A once they have successfully completed the course; however, there are several criteria which must be met.  These include receiving an A in the course, a 4 or 5 on the English 350 competency exam, a 4 or 5 on the English 150 competency exam, recommendation from the English 350 instructor, and agreement to co-enroll in English 152 and 1A. 
  • The Math Department allows students to re-take any level Math assessment twice within a testing period.  

Assessment Exemptions
  • Students who have obtained an AA/AS degree or higher.
  • Students attending CR in order to maintain a certificate or license (e.g. Real Estate, Nursing, or Administration of Justice).
  • Students attending CR for the sole purpose of personal enrichment who are enrolling only in a course or courses that are designated as recreation or activity-oriented.  Should a student choose to enroll at a later time in courses that are not recreation or activity-oriented, he or she will need to complete assessment.
  • Students who provide verification of having completed state-approved placement tests at another California community college within the past three years. Test placement scores and test date must be provided to the Counseling Center.
  • Students having completed college level English and/or math courses with a grade of C or better at other accredited colleges. Transcripts showing class and class grade must be provided to the Counseling Center. If the course was completed five or more years ago, it is strongly recommended that students complete assessment to re-evaluate their math and skills.
  • Students who verify completion of the College Entrance Examination Board Math and/or English Advanced Placement Examination with scores of 3, 4, or 5.
