Placement Tests to Validate Your Mathematics and English Skills

Placement testing should take place prior to your first semester of enrollment and must take place no more than two years prior to your first semester.

91黑料网 offers two remote testing options for students unable to visit one of the GBC campus centers located in Elko, Winnemucca, Ely, or Pahrump. Contact the Learning Commons at 775.327.2247 for more information about our placement testing options.

All degree-seeking students must enroll in mathematics and English every semester until they have completed their math and English requirements. Studies consistently show that students who complete their English and math classes quickly, and in a continuous fashion, are more likely to graduate.
