Placement Testing Information for Current Students at the Florida Keys Community College in Key West, FL
Placement Testing
The purpose of the College Placement Test (CPT) is to help provide information about your skills in the English language, reading, and mathematics. Your test results will be used in the academic advising process to help place you into proper levels of English (communication/humanities), reading, and mathematics courses.
You may need to take the CPT test, if you are a degree-seeking student, a returning student who changes to degree seeking status as well as a non-degree seeking student who wishes to enroll in English, reading, mathematics courses, or any course requiring college level English or math as a prerequisite.
