Growing Stars provides comprehensive tutoring services designed to help students excel in the ACCUPLACER Math tests and achieve their optimal college course placement.
The ACCUPLACER is a computer-based assessment used by colleges to place students in the appropriate course levels. The math section evaluates students’ readiness for college-level mathematics. The ACCUPLACER is “computer-adaptive,” meaning that the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the student’s responses. Colleges use these results to determine if a student is ready to take regular, credit-bearing courses or if they require additional academic support.
Growing Stars offers an online ACCUPLACER Math tutoring program tailored to help students confidently succeed in this computer-adaptive assessment. Our one-on-one expert tutors equip you with the mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to achieve a high placement score. By working with our tutors, students can bypass expensive, non-credit remedial math courses and enter college-level classes as soon as possible.
The ACCUPLACER Math assessment is divided into three distinct test areas. Our tutoring covers all necessary concepts within each:
Tailored Support for Each Student Our qualified tutors provide personalized, one-on-one support tailored to address the specific mathematics needs of each student. In addition to helping students understand the format of computer-adaptive testing, our tutors assist learners in refining their skills to achieve optimal performance. They teach students to use their time effectively, think strategically, and develop a pacing strategy to maximize their scores.
Continuous Progress Evaluation Our tutors continuously evaluate each student’s progress through regular monitoring. They provide constructive feedback to track growth and development. If a student has an area of need or deficit, tutors will assist in developing a plan to overcome those challenges and continue growing.
Frequent Feedback Students receive immediate feedback after each tutoring session and monthly progress reports from their tutor. Additionally, students may receive further feedback whenever necessary.
Overall: Tutoring for the ACCUPLACER Math tests offers students the opportunity to receive personalized guidance, enhance their academic skills, and secure their optimal placement in college courses. With dedicated support and focused instruction, students can develop the necessary skills and confidence to bypass remedial classes and step directly into credit-bearing coursework.

Why is ACCUPLACER tutoring helpful?
The program follows a comprehensive and structured approach that covers every key learning objective outlined by the College Board. Therefore, it prepares the learner to take the placement test with full confidence.
Why choose one-on-one tutoring?
This teaching method provides the student an opportunity to learn at their own pace, which is ideal for an untimed, adaptive test that evaluates individualized skill levels.
What happens if I don’t pass the ACCUPLACER test?
There is no such thing as “failing” the ACCUPLACER test, but a poor performance typically indicates that you will need to enroll in a non-credit remedial class prior to taking the courses necessary for completion of your degree. With Growing Stars’ online tutoring services, you will be better prepared to place directly into credit-bearing courses, saving you both time and money.
Is a calculator allowed during the test?
An on-screen calculator is made available to students via the testing software for the specific questions that require one.
Do advanced learners benefit from this course?
Yes. Because the test is adaptive, advanced learners can prepare for the highest-difficulty questions, allowing them to place directly into advanced college courses and skip introductory levels.
