Testing

ACCUPLACER is an English and Mathematics placement exam, which new students can take to exempt corequisite learning support requirements. There is no cost to take the Accuplacer the first time for those who have applied to ABAC.  A $15 proctoring fee will apply for students who choose to take their exams virtually. A $30 testing fee is required for each additional attempt.

The Institutional or “residual” ACT is administered to students who have applied for admission into ABAC and were unable to test on a national test date. Skills are assessed in the areas of English, Math, Reading, and Science. Scores from Residual Testing are reported only to ABAC for admission, course placement, and advising purposes. To register, select your campus or site location below.

Testing Accommodations Students with documented disabilities who require special testing conditions must contact the Testing Center at 229.391.4817 or testing@abac.edu to schedule their exam and provide required documentation.

Test Scores for the Residual ACT scores can ONLY be used for ABAC. Students may not order additional score reports for any other college or use their scores for any other college. 

If you have taken the ACT through Residual Testing—on this campus or at another site—you must wait a minimum of 60 days before retesting. Testers who retake the ACT Residual before the 60 day wait period will have their scores canceled.
