All students are encouraged to prepare for placement testing. Not reviewing for the placement tests could result in students being placed into courses below their actual skill level. This can delay student progress, so prepare as best you can!
The placement test will determine which English and math courses you will take when you attend Coastal. All of our courses are designed to help you succeed, so you will be in good hands, no matter where you place.
The faculty and staff of Coastal Carolina Community College wish you the best of luck as you embark on your educational path. We look forward to working with you!
