We want you to be successful in your college courses so your college placement test is an important first step for you. The course placement tests will assess your current skill levels in reading, writing, and math (or English language proficiency if you are an ESL/ESOL student). Your placement test scores will determine which courses you may enroll in at Eastfield College.
