READING AND WRITING PLACEMENT
Delta Course	Guided Self Placement Survey	High School GPA - 10 years old or less	SAT (ERBW)	Accuplacer Next-Gen
ENG 099	Required	less than 2.5	below 479	Below 233
ENG 096/ ENG 111C	Required	less than 3.0	480 - 549	234 - 255
ENG 111	Required	3.0 or greater	550 or above	256 or above

If Accuplacer scores for Reading and Writing placement fall in different ranges, the lower range should be used for English course recommendation.

The first step to determine the best math class for you is to take the Guided Self-Placement (GSP).
