Macomb Community College STRONGLY recommends that students sign up for and access the Placement Testing Study App before attempting their placement exam.

• There will be a $25.00 fee for retesting.
• Pay the retesting fee at the Cashier’s Office at either campus.
• Obtain the receipt and take it to the Placement Testing Office.
• Give the receipt to the Placement Testing Proctor.

After the initial retest, students must wait 120 days for further retesting.

• There will be a $25.00 fee for retesting.
• Pay the retesting fee at the Cashier’s Office at either campus.

Scores become inactive after two years. If students need to retest after two years, there will be no fee as this is considered an initial test. Additional tests will be considered retests and the Retesting & Fees Policy will apply. Go directly to the Placement Testing Office to retest if it has been two years since your last test.
