College Placement Tests

By Chris Vaiou


Getting worried is not a solution. You just have to get up, make up your mind and start studying hard. You need to see the previous years placement test papers for the company which is coming to your campus for recruitment. Focus your efforts on the written exam first because that is the initial part of the whole process. If you clear the written test, you have a lot of chances of making it in the GD round and the interviews.

The ACT test is a general college placement test that covers English, math, reading, science and reasoning skills as well as an optional writing test. The test fee is $32 with an additional $15 for the writing test and takes up to 3 hours and 25 minutes with the writing test. The SAT I is $45 and takes up to 3 hours and 45 minutes, and covers reading and math reasoning as well as writing skills. The SAT II is generally used for a specific area of study and tests on one subject alone. The cost for this test ranges from $29 to $40, and students are given one hour to complete the test. The TOEFL is the equivalent of the SAT test, and is given to those who are not native English speaking persons, to understand and use English. This is an internet based test and is the most common in the US. The fees associated with this test are $150, and for the internet version of the test you are given 4 hours and 40 minutes. If you complete the paper version of the test, you are given 3 hours and 30 minutes for completion.

The placement test isn't as tricky as trying to take the SAT or the ACT that some colleges may require. This will quiz you on your understanding of math, English, and other central subjects. They are all of the core classes which may be required for each method of degree you are preparing on going into.

Just stay confident and have a pleasant smile on your face. In the technical interview do not try to answer the question if you do not have much knowledge about it. You can be asked questions like If you are in some difficult situation how will you manage it? You may be given a particular programming situation and asked to solve the problem.

In that situation you do not have to start writing the whole code and plan for the situation. Just demonstrate your commitment to the problem and the situation. Tell about the approach you will adopt to solve the problem and the basic steps you will take to tide over the problem in case of a programming question.

This is how you should answer the complex interview question. Such questions help the interviewer to assess the candidate's problem solving skills better. So you need to watch out such interview questions in the latest placement papers. So do not worry about your employment test. Your hard work and abilities will surely benefit you. Dont lose your heart - You will surely win!
