What the Arithmetic test covers

College Board's test specifications, read October 7, 2026, give five content areas 15 to 25 percent of the test each: whole number operations, fraction operations, decimal operations, percent, and number comparisons and equivalents. The three operations areas include order of operations, estimation and rounding, and real-life problems.

What it leaves out

The specifications list no variables, equations or geometry for this test. Those begin in Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics, the next Accuplacer math test.

  • Estimate first: some questions ask only for the closest value.
  • To compare a fraction, a decimal and a percent, write all three as decimals.
  • A percent change is measured against the starting number, not the new one.

Questions and answers

Is there a printable Accuplacer arithmetic practice test PDF?

Yes, from this page. Print the question sheet lists 20 questions to print, with an answer key if you tick it. Choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window to keep the file. The questions are ours, not College Board's.

How many questions are on the Accuplacer arithmetic test?

20 multiple-choice questions, the specifications say. College Board's test page adds that there is no time limit and that the test is computer adaptive: each answer decides how hard the next question is. Exam mode here asks 20 with no clock.

Can you use a calculator on the Accuplacer arithmetic test?

Not your own, unless you have an approved accommodation. College Board's test-day page says no physical or handheld calculator may be used on any Accuplacer math test. A question that allows a calculator shows an icon for one on screen. Work these by hand.

What is a passing score on the Accuplacer arithmetic test?

There is none. College Board says no one passes or fails; the test reports a score from 200 to 300, and each college sets its own placement scores. Your college's testing office can tell you its numbers.
