What kind of math is on the ACCUPLACER?
There are three sections of the ACCUPLACER that focus on math.
The first math section is called is the Arithmetic Placement Test which focuses on:
- Decimals operations
- Fractions operations
- Number comparisons and equivalents
- Percents
- Whole number operations
The second math section is called Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics Placement Test which focuses on:
- Algebraic Expressions
- Descriptive Statistics
- Exponents
- Geometry Concepts for Pre-Algebra
- Geometry Concepts for Algebra I
- Linear Applications and Graphs
- Linear Equations
- Probability and Sets
- Ratio and Proportional Relationships
- Rational numbers
The third ACCUPLACER math test section is called Advanced Algebra and Functions Placement Test which covers:
- Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
- Factoring
- Functions
- Geometry Concepts for Algebra I
- Geometry Concepts for Algebra II
- Linear Applications and Graphs
- Linear Equations
- Polynomial Equations
- Quadratics
- Radical and Rational Equations
- Trigonometry
While this may seem like a lot of material to prepare for it is mostly math you have learned in high school. With enough preparation and studying you should be able to master every topic on the ACCUPLACER test for math.

How to study for the math ACCUPLACER?
The best way to study for the ACCUPLACER math section is to take a lot of practice tests and practice solving as many math problems as possible.
Studying math comes down to repetition and active practice. It’s best to start with studying with math practice tests to determine how well you’re doing on each topic. It’s easier to create a realistic study plan to boost your ACCUPLACER score when you can pinpoint exactly what areas you need to improve.
For example, you may determine that you answer questions about ratios and percentages correctly, but it’s conversion and linear equations that have you stumped. ACCUPLACER study sessions should focus on one topic at a time for 45-60 minutes a few times a week. Use a reliable study guide such as the ACCUPLACER Online Course from Smart Edition to review the math videos, math chapters, and follow up by answering questions in the question banks to actively practice what you’ve studied.
