Question: I want a med or engineering major in college. I want to go to Middlesex County College for the 2yrs.HELP?Do I need a good SAT score to get into a college. I am an above average student in high school. I will start my senior yr in september. Any advice. Help needed badly.17 months ago
Best AnswerIf you go to county college you don't necessarily need a good SAT score, but you do need to do well at the community college. You should probably contact the schools you are looking to go to after community college and see what their requirements are though. |
Question: My daughter has applied to Middlesex County College.?They recently told her to come in and take a test that they give everyone who wants to go there. I would like to know if anyone who already took the test can let me know how long it was and what subject's it was on, so my daughter can study for it. She gets very nervous when she takes a test, so I figured this might help her relax a little.47 months ago
Best AnswerThe Middlesex County College Placement Test consists of a series of multiple choice tests presented on a personal computer and a 45-minute, essay. The multiple choice tests measure your skills in reading, sentence skills and elementary algebra. You will also be tested on your computation or intermediate algebra skills, depending on your progress on the elementary algebra portion of the test. The computerized test is untimed although most college students complete it within two hours. |
