There are 20 multiple choice questions in the 阅读 Comprehension Accuplacer.
The reading placement test is a broad-spectrum computer-adaptive assessment of test takers’ developed ability to derive meaning from a range of prose texts and to determine the meaning of words and phrases in short and extended contexts. Passages on the test cover a range of content areas (including literature and literary nonfiction, 职业/历史/社会研究, 人文学科, 和科学), 写作模式(信息性/解释性, 论点, 和叙述), and complexities (relatively easy to very challenging). 单通道和成对通道都包括在内. The test pool includes both authentic texts (previously published passages excerpted or minimally adapted from their published form) and commissioned texts (written specifically for the test). Four broad knowledge and skill categories are assessed:
- 信息和想法(仔细阅读, 确定中心思想和主题, 总结, 理解关系)
- 修辞学(从修辞学角度分析用词, 分析文本结构, 分析的观点, 分析的目的, 分析参数)
- 综合(分析多个文本)
- 词汇表

写作
There are 25 multiple choice questions administered on the 写作 test with two types of questions.
The next-generation ACCUPLACER 写作 placement test is a broad-spectrum computer-adaptive assessment of test takers’ developed ability to revise and edit a range of prose texts for effective expression of ideas and for conformity to the conventions of Standard Written English sentence structure, 使用, 和标点符号. Passages on the test cover a range of content areas (including literary nonfiction, 职业/历史/社会研究, 人文学科, 和科学), 写作模式(信息性/解释性, 论点, 和叙述), and complexities (relatively easy to very challenging). 所有的通道都是委托的——就是说, written specifically for the test—so that “errors” (a collective term for a wide range of rhetorical and conventions-related problems) can more effectively be introduced into them. Questions are multiple choice in format and appear in sets built around a common, extended passage; no discrete (standalone) questions are included. 在回答问题时, test takers must determine the best revision or editing decision in a particular case (or that no change should be made to the passage as originally presented). Two broad knowledge and skill categories are assessed:
- Expression of Ideas (development, organization, effective language use)
- Standard English Conventions (sentence structure, 使用, 和标点符号)
