These are not admission tests. They evaluate your readiness. However, you do not want to be placed in a course lower than your actual skill level - so it is important you take testing seriously.
Placement tests are free, and you can take them on any TCC campus. Email testing@tcc.edu or call 757-822-2194. More information can be found at https://www.tcc.edu/come-to-tcc/placement-testing/.
