Placement Testing

 Placement Testing & Orientation

 Placement testing is designed to assess writing, reading and math skills.  The results of these tests are used to assist students and counselors in the selection of college level courses.  The orientation for new students will

 be presented along with the sections of the assessment test you need for course placement.

 WHC Coalinga requires students to take all FOUR tests in order to be placed in the appropriate levels of English  and Math.  Students may retest one time only, any or all sections of the placement exam after two  weeks have lapsed since taking the exam.


WHC Coalinga Testing Dates - revised 8/17/09

  If you are coming from out of the area, please call first to make sure the testing date is still available or you may take the placement test at the community college closest to you and fax your scores to a counselor.  Please be on time!
