Accuplacer · Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra & Statistics

Pre-algebra through linear equations.

QAS is the broadest math subtest — it covers fractions, ratios, basic algebra, stats, and geometry. Score 245+ and you skip remedial math at most community colleges.

Placement threshold

245+ places you into college algebra at most schools. Accuplacer is scored 200–300 per subtest — your college publishes its own cutoffs.
