I know that I plan to go back to school. I have to take the College Placement Test (CPT). The CPT rates your knowledge of reading comprehension, English, and arithmetic. This test is important because it will tell them What level of education I have. The lower you score the more classes I have to take. I haven't even talked to anyone at the school because I did this test before their so I know what to expect. I am pretty sure that I will have to retake this test because it has been over 10 years since I took it. I scored low last time and they gave me like 2 years of extra classes. Which I think sucks because they did not inform me on this test and I was unprepared when I took it. If anyone sees this Please give me suguestions on How to prepare.

Wow, not sure how to tell you to prepare. So for a starting point I would say to look up things for the SAT. If memory serves me correctly it stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test. It is the "standard" test taken by high school students getting ready to go to college.

Here is a link to their site's frequently asked questions:

This should be as good as any way to start.

Hold the phone, here is another site I found. It has a links to practice exams for the CPT:

Kudos, Drew, on your return to school! Along with PepperMan's links to CPT and SAT materials, you can also find GED materials at the library (if you prefer the old book method) Good luck!
