ACCUPLACER practice test

Here are 20 free practice questions in the ACCUPLACER style: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic and Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics (QAS). They’re original questions written from College Board’s official test content, not copies of real ones. The real test has no pass mark, so aim for 70%, which is 14 right. You’ll see why each answer is right, and you can ask the tutor if it still doesn’t click.
