How much does the ACCUPLACER test cost?

There’s no single price. Your college sets the fee, not College Board. As of October 2026, College Board lets each school charge what it thinks is a reasonable cost and asks schools to keep costs low for students. So check your college’s testing page for the real number.

Why the price depends on your college

Colleges buy ACCUPLACER tests from College Board and give them to their own students. College Board’s rules let each school set its own policy and charge a reasonable cost for testing.

That’s why one college may test you for free while another charges a fee per test, or charges for retests or for testing students from other schools. The college you plan to attend can tell you exactly what you’ll pay.

What colleges can’t charge for

  • Accommodations. Schools must not charge extra if you have a documented or temporary disability, and must not push you to skip accommodations to save money.
  • Your score report. College Board says schools shouldn’t charge for your Individual Student Report, and should give you a copy when you ask.
  • The official practice materials. Sample questions and the Study App are free, and schools shouldn’t charge for them.

Testing remotely or somewhere else

If you test at a different college, or online with a remote proctoring service, there may be an extra fee from that test site or company. Your home college arranges this and can tell you the cost before you book.

Studying costs nothing

Everything official is free: practice tests in the ACCUPLACER Study App, sample questions for every test, and College Board’s free learning exercises. Paid apps and books are optional.
