Send Placement Scores

If you have not already done so, take the SAT or ACT test and have your official scores sent to The Young Americans College of the Performing Arts' Admissions Office.

Students who plan to enroll in Options A or B must submit assessment scores for placement in one of the two English courses we currently offer, and so that we have your math placement scores on file.

ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer scores may be used to satisfy the College’s assessment requirement. Students who have not taken the ACT or SAT may contact the Admissions Office at [email protected] to inquire about taking the Accuplacer assessment test.

ACT scores can be requested through the ACT website; school code: 6944. SAT scores can be requested through the College Board website; school code: 7384.  Those who plan to enroll in the North Central partnership must also send their placement scores to North Central Michigan College (ACT school code 2037. SAT school code 1569).

YACPA currently considers placement for two levels of English courses: English 111 and English 095. English 111 is a college-level English course. English 095 is a developmental English course which prepares the student for college-level English. Using the charts below, you can determine whether you meet the placement requirements for English 111 or English 095.

Reading down the column – both minimum scores for each test are used to determine the requirement.
