Attention incoming Freshmen! Summer placement test and SPOP dates are now posted. Click here!
The UCI Academic Testing
Center, a unit within the Division of Undergraduate Education,
administers the Placement
Testing Program to
new and continuing students to ensure correct placement in
selected introductory courses and to help students assess
their readiness for University-level work. These tests are
selected or developed by UCI faculty who also determine the
grading criteria for each test. Students, with the help of
academic counselors, use results from placement tests to
determine enrollment in introductory courses and to formulate
a plan of study that is best suited for their learning needs
and career goals.
Placement tests are
currently given in the areas of chemistry, physics, precalculus,
mathematical analysis, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese,
and Academic English.
The Academic Testing
Center
also administers the Language
Testing Program which provides proficiency tests
as a way for students to seek satisfaction of language components
of some UCI breadth requirements, such as the Language Other
Than English (Category
VI)requirement and a portion of the International/Global
Studies (Category
VII-B) requirement.
Tests are offered in
over 40 languages and are administered 3 times during the
academic year.
