The results of the assessment, in conjunction with academic background information, are used by college academic advisors to assist you with course selection. Testing at Bristol is free and students are allowed one re-test. Students can expect to finish the exam in 1.5 to 2 hours. If you are transferring in credits from another college, you should not schedule an appointment until you have received official notification from the Office of Admissions with your transfer evaluation.
