ASSESSMENT
In order to help students get the most out of their higher education, the college provides tests that assess a student's general educational background and skills in: Mathematics and English/English as a Second Language (ESL). These tests help students select courses that are realistic and compatible with their level of academic preparation and experience. The Matriculation Department is concerned that students do not waste a semester selecting a class that exceeds their preparation.
Los Angeles Trade-Tech College offers computerized assessment testing. No appointments are necessary because assessment testing is available on a first come, first serve basis in Building “C” Room 107 during testing hours.
Students receive a printed copy of their test results after completing the assessment test. Assessment test results are used by counselors to make the appropriate course recommendations that best meets the student’s college goals. Assessment test results are valid for two (2) years at LATTC. If students are not satisfied with their placement scores, they can choose to take a Challenge Exam.
Assessment test scores are used for Ability to Benefit (ATB) Testing for students lacking a high school diploma and needing financial aid. The assessment test scores are also used for Certified Nursing Assistant Program (CNA) to meet important qualifications. It is recommended students study prior to taking the assessment test (Assessment Test Practice and Preparation).
When the lab is very busy we can only take a limited number of students. The schedule is as follows: Monday thru Thursday- the first 150 people per day Friday - the first 50 people
