A student may retake the ACCUPLACER one time by paying the $15 fee per test again. If a student wishes to retake the ACCUPLACER test a third time, he/she must wait at least 2 weeks to take the test. During this time, a student should seek remediation in English and/or Mathematics to improve his/her score. It is the student’s responsibility to seek remediation and is NOT the responsibility of Pearl River Community College.
