Testing

Do you need help with testing?
Avila offers math and English placement tests to students. If it has been awhile since you have taken the ACT and would like to place higher in a course than your ACT would allow, Avila offers math and English placement tests.
You MUST bring a current photo I.D. when you take the test.

ENGLISH PLACEMENT EXAM
The English placement exam determines whether you will take Introduction to Writing, Composition I, or Composition II. Each student is allowed to take the exam twice, but only the highest score will determine placement.

MATH PLACEMENT EXAM
The math placement exam determines whether a student will enroll in Foundations I/II, College Algebra, Finite Math, or Calculus. Each student is allowed to take the exam twice, but only the highest score will determine placement. Calculators will be provided for testing.

CBASE TEST PREPERATION
If you are a prospective education major at Avila, you will need to take the College Basic Academic Subjects Examination (C-BASE). Here's what to do:

• We suggest that you go to the School of Education & Psychology prior to visiting Learning Serivces for registration information.
  
• Next, schedule an appointment to meet with the Director or Assistant Director of Learning Services to create a personalized preparation plan.
