  • Test Scores

    When do I get my scores?

    Taking the text in person means you get scores immediately upon test completion. 

    How are my test scores submitted to my apprenticeship?

    You have two options:

    Submit test scores on your own

    Agencies such as ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors) or individual Apprenticeships will allow you to submit your own scores. Before leaving the Testing Center on your exam day, ask the proctor for extra copies of your score report.

    Submit scores through Madison College

    Complete and submit the Madison College test score request form.

    After my test day, how can I get extra copies of my ACCUPLACER test scores? 

    You have two options for obtaining your test scores past your exam day. 

    Complete and submit the Madison College test score request form or find your scores through the ACCUPLACER student portal.
