An Accuplacer Elementary Algebra or Accuplacer arithmetic score will determine placement. NOTE: Accuplacer and COMPASS scores
in BANNER will be shown as a 3-digit number, i.e., a writing score of 40 will display in BANNER as 040.
Accuplacer ESL5 reflects the total of scores from ESL reading, ESL language usage, ESL sentence meaning, and ESL listening. The ESL5 total score in
BANNER will recommend placement. ESL placement cannot be determined with other test instruments.
BARTonline placement scores will be shown in BANNER as a 3-digit number, “Online Placement’. Online Placement scores are used for BARTonline classes
only.
