Most applicants to KVCC are required to take an entrance or placement test to assess their reading, writing, and mathematical skills. When scores indicate the need, students will be required to successfully complete courses in basic studies prior to being reviewed for acceptance or, if accepted, prior to enrolling in subsequent college level course work.

KVCC utilizes three different placement tests. Applicants will be notified of the appropriate assessment. Any students who are interested in brushing up on their basic math skills (fractions, decimals, percents, etc.) before coming in to take any of the assessments are encouraged to sign up for a math review session.  The review sessions are free and will be held in Carter Hall, Room 226 from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. on the following dates:
