How do ACCUPLACER test units work?

Test Units are pre-purchased in bulk and never expire. Each test consumes between 1 and 2.5 test units (see table below*). A test unit is deducted from the account when the first question is served to a test-taker.

For example, if you are going to test 10 students and each of them will take Reading, Writing, and Math, each student’s test session will consume 3 units.

10 students x 3 units each = 30 units consumed.
