How are test scores submitted for an apprenticeship?

2. Through Madison College
We can send scores where you need them to go. Simply complete the Madison College test score request form.
How can I get copies of my test scores after exam day?
- Submit the Madison College test score request form.
- Find your scores through the ACCUPLACER student portal.
Can I retest?
The ACCUPLACER may be taken twice within two years. For more attempts, work with a Madison College advisor or instructor for retest authorization.
