I took my college placement (entrance) exam yesterday. My teacher tried to talk me out of taking it yesterday because of my stress levels and thought I would bomb it because of the stress. I am proud to say I did not bomb this test.

Math: 36; had to score a 26 or better
Reading: 87; had to score a 70 or better
English: 85; had to score a 23 or better

What that means for me is no remedial classes at all, I go straight into my general core classes. On the 18 of this month I have registration/orientation for my classes and I will get my badge and what not. I am very excited at this point.

Oh and student aid: I will be getting Hope, my Hope voucher worth 500 for completing my GED and some Pell. How much Pell depends on what my course load will be like for my first quarter.

Congratulations! Kelly,

From the rest of your posts, it seems like those that you took for your college to determine how to place you in classes. Is that correct?

Yes I thought it was an entrance exam but once I got in there to take the test I found out it was a placement test. My very last hurdle is finishing my last 2 GED tests(Math and English/Essay). Those I take on Monday.
