ATB Test:
California Education Code (CEC) §94811 describes an ability-to-benefit (ATB) student as a student who does not have a certificate of graduation from a school providing secondary education, or an acknowledged equivalent of that certificate. Under CEC §94904 Giligia College is required, prior to executing an enrollment agreement with an ATB student, to have the student take and pass an independently administered examination from the list of examinations prescribed by the United States Department of Education (USDE).

Giligia College uses the ACCUPLACER ATB Examination

Passing scores:

Reading Comprehension – 55
Sentence Skills – 60
Arithmetic – 34

In addition, each prospective student will receive an admissions interview. Applicants failing to achieve the required passing scores may be retested no sooner than one week from the administration of the first test. ACCUPLACER’s test results are tied directly to requirements established by the U.S. Department of Education.

As a prospective student, you are encouraged to review this catalog prior to signing an enrollment agreement. You are also encouraged to review the School Performance Fact Sheet, which must be provided to you prior to signing an enrollment agreement.
