MCA Test Scores To Test Our of Remedial Courses

MCA SCORES

10th and 11 Grade MCA scores can be used to test out of remedial courses at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities starting in 2018-19

MDE has just provided notice that starting in 2018-19, students who are at or above the identified scores outlined below are expected to be able to successfully complete credit-bearing coursework without the need for remediation. Students with scores above the ranges indicated below must not be required to take remedial, non-credit courses in the corresponding subject area at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. As MCA scores will start being used in this way in 2018-19, current juniors and sophomores who are taking the MCAs this year will be able to take advantage of this new policy.
