Types of Placement Test
The following tests are eligible to be taken through SU’s Remote Testing program:
1. ACCUPLACER ESL
Also known as LOEP (Level of English Proficiency), ACCUPLACER ESL is an integrated system of computer-adaptive assessments designed to evaluate students’ skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.
ACCUPLACER ESL test scores are used to place students in college-level courses that are appropriately challenging and not significantly above their skill level.
2. ACCUPLACER NG
Next-Generation ACCUPLACER Test
The Next-Generation ACCUPLACER (NG) test is required for students as a part of the admission application for Sampoerna University. The purpose of the Next-Generation (NG) ACCUPLACER test is to determine the individual skill level and readiness in reading, writing and math.
The Next-Generation ACCUPLACER is a computer-adaptive test offered throughout each semester. The Reading, Writing and Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics (QAS) tests are untimed and multiple choice.
The score results are only one factor of multiple measures used in the admission process and course placement. Students who score below the minimum threshold are advised to enroll in a developmental education course in English, Mathematics, or both subjects
What is the GED ?
The GED, the General Educational Diploma, is a set of four tests that demonstrate that the test taker has met high-school level academic skills. The GED is designed for individuals without a high school (secondary) diploma, including advanced secondary students who wish to enroll in college-level courses early, or those that never finished high school.
Remote Testing Process
Sampoerna University has a Remote Testing Process in place for allowing prospective students to take a placement test on a remote testing basis. Remote testing is allowed for SU approved tests to be administered by a non-SU proctor at another location. Prospective students seeking a remote testing option may be required to pay an additional fee to the organization authorized to proctor the tests.
Remote Testing may be allowed for prospective students living outside of Greater Jakarta. Students living in Greater Jakarta must complete their placement tests at the SU Testing Center.
Remote Testing Policies:
- Students must have a valid student ID number prior to requesting remote testing.
- All requests must be approved by the SU Testing Center prior to scheduling the test.
- Requests for remote testing must be received at least 10 business days prior to the requested test date.

Remote testing centers must have an appropriate level of secure internet access, connectivity and bandwidth to serve as a remote testing location.
