Assessment

The Assessment Center at Chabot College will help you place into classes that match your skills and experience.

Do I have to take the assessments?

We recommend that every student takes both the math and English/ESL assessments. The chemistry assessment is optional for students who wish to take certain chemistry classes.

In order to register for ESL 110A, students must take the ESL assessment test.

Assessment is a mandatory step in the Student Success & Support Program (SSSP) and it is also required for students who want Priority Registration

There are specific cases where you may be exempt, meaning, you will not be required to take the assessments.

  1. AP English and/or Calculus test with a score of 3 or better
  2. EAP (SBAC) test results of “Ready for College Level” (visit assessment center to obtain a copy of your results)
  3. Completed DSPS diagnostic evaluation
  4. Completed a math and/or English course with a grade of “C” or higher (not “C-”) at another college

Bring a copy of your AP and/or EAP test results and/or a copy of your college transcripts (unofficial is fine) to the Counseling Department on the second floor of building 700. View the Counseling Department office and drop-in hours.

How often can I take the assessments?
Students are allowed to retake an assessment after six months.

I took the assessments at another college. Can I use those results?
No, Chabot College does not accept assessment results from other colleges. Only completed course work may be transferred. (transcripts required)
