About the ACCUPLACER Next Generation
The ACCUPLACER Next Generation test is used to measure current skills in writing, reading, and math. The results are used to select the math and English courses you need, as well as determine if a reading course is needed.
At MAC, we recommend taking the Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics (QAS) math section of the exam, along with the Writing and Reading sections.

The ACCUPLACER Next Generation is an untimed exam.
If you are taking all 3 sections, you may want to plan for 2-3 hours.

3 Subject Areas-$20
