The Accuplacer English placement test has two parts: Sentence Skills and Reading Comprehension.

Each part consists of 20 questions. The test is not timed, but may take approximately one hour. The Sentence Skills test measures your ability to correct sentences by substituting a word or phrase underlined in the sentence. It will also ask you to rewrite sentences without changing the meaning. Reading Comprehension measures your ability to understand, analyze, and apply what you have read.
