Placement Exams

Placement examinations in reading, English and math skills allow GMC to best advise a student so skills can be developed to help ensure a successful academic career. Placement examination schedules are available at each GMC campus. Students are permitted to take each section of the placement exam only once.

The Reading Skills Placement Exam is administered to all entering freshmen having an SAT critical reading score less than 450 or an ACT English score less than 18.

The GMC Writing Skills Placement Exam is administered to all entering freshmen having an SAT critical reading score less than 450 or an ACT English score less than 18.

The GMC Mathematics Placement Exam is administered to all entering freshmen having an SAT math score less than 450 or an ACT math score less than 18.

Areas of deficiency are identified by scores students achieve on the Placement Exam. Students who place in Learning Support Services courses must earn a passing grade in each course before enrolling in credit courses in that subject area. GMC will accept official SAT or ACT test results for placement testing decisions unless the test results are over five years old.
