General Information

Testing Center Location 

The Testing Center on West campus has completed construction so the Testing Center is located on MJC's West Campus, Yosemite Hall Building, Room A117.  Click here for a map.

Why Test?

Assessment is one of the CORE steps to receive priority registration.  It also allows college personnel to help you select appropriate courses. Testing may also be used to satisfy certain course prerequisites. Assessment is free, however, other testing services offered by the Testing Center may require a fee.

Individuals planning on attending Modesto Junior College must submit an admission application at www.mjc.edu. Students must wait until the application processes before testing. Test at least ten days prior to registering. All students need to visit a counselor after assessing.

NOTE: Most math and English Composition courses require assessment or prerequisite course completion.  Being exempt from testing does not release the student from any prerequisite requirements a course may have.

What Tests are Given
The Accuplacer test is given for English, Reading, Math and credit ESL assessment. It is an untimed online test that gives you an immediate English or ESL, reading and math placement.  The CASAS test is given for non-credit ESL classes. It is a paper/pencil exam and results may take up to 72 hours to be processed.

What you need to know before testing:

  • Students must have MJC application on file to take assessment.
  • Student ID number is required.
  • Check-in begins when the lab opens. No early check-in required.
  • Appointments are required.
  • Picture identification is necessary for all testing.
  • Parking on campus requires purchasing a $2.00 permit (boxes located in parking lots)

Special Accommodations
Students with disabilities can be arrange for any college service if the request is made at least 10 days prior to the service.  Call (209) 575-6225 or TTY 575-6863.
