How to Retake a Bergen Community Placement Test

The Bergen Community College Placement Test is a test given to students at the college once they reach 11 attempted credits at the school. Consisting of a basic skills test in reading, writing, computation and algebra, the test assesses a student's preparation for both English and mathematics courses at the college level. If the score on the test is unsatisfactory, a student will need to take the basic skills courses before taking those college level courses. You can retake the tests as often as you feel it is necessary to take them, however, and as with the first placement tests --- with no fee.
