The M.E.C.A. allows a student the opportunity to challenge and appeal his/her/their current mathematics course placement, which is based on ACT, SAT, and/or Accuplacer scores. The M.E.C.A. is a competency-based assessment which may be completed one-time-only for each course to place out of MTH010, MTH042, MTH060, or MTH095. The assessment is completed in a proctored environment with a two-hour time limit; upon completion, the assessment is scored by mathematics faculty using a skill-based rubric. There is no fee to take the M.E.C.A., and it is currently offered in two formats. Students may go to an MACC location to take a paper-and-pencil version of the M.E.C.A., or students may take the M.E.C.A. virtually using a software program which requires a desktop or laptop computer (no Chromebooks) equipped with a webcam and microphone to proctor the assessment. Students scoring proficient on the M.E.C.A. will be allowed to place out of a mathematics course and, therefore, into the subsequent mathematics course in the general education course sequence. Please see an advisor at any MACC location for details and proctor schedules related to the M.E.C.A.

A proctored exam is an exam taken under supervision. The instructor or the instructor’s designee (a pre-approved professional) who supervises the exam is called a proctor. The proctor is responsible for verifying the identity of the test taker and maintaining the integrity of the test environment.
Online (remote) proctoring is only available for online courses and exams scheduled in the online portion of hybrid courses. Respondus LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor is used to monitor students during the exam and provide feedback to the instructor to follow-up with a student as needed. Students should be notified within the course in Canvas when Respondus LockDown Browser with Monitor is required. Directions to install and set up this software on their personal computer should be found in the Modules section of the course.
Virtual proctoring is only available for virtual courses during regularly scheduled class sessions and for students needing testing accommodations arranged in advance with the instructor and/or MACC’s ADA and Access Office. Zoom and/or Respondus LockDown Browser may be used to assist the proctor in monitoring students during exams. The instructor should notify students at the beginning of the course what software, if any, needs to be installed on their personal computer for testing.
On-campus proctoring is only available for on-campus courses during regularly scheduled class sessions and for students needing testing accommodations arranged in advance with the instructor and/or MACC’s ADA and Access Office. Respondus LockDown Browser may be required for some courses and should be pre-installed on campus computers students will use to take exams. The instructor should notify students at the beginning of the course what software, if any, needs to be installed on their personal computer for testing.
Check with your instructor and high school counselor to see if there is a special accommodation in place for a pre-approved professional proctor at your high school to proctor exams in a live setting. If not, you’ll need to follow the directions provided by the instructor to install and use Respondus LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor on your personal computer. If you are using a device issued to you by the high school, you may need to work with your high school’s IT department to see if Respondus LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor can be installed an used on that device.
Home-schooled students, same as regular college students, are expected to be able to install Respondus LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor on their personal computer or use dedicated testing computers on their nearest MACC campus to take proctored exams.
JWCC students are expected to be able to install Respondus LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor on their personal computer. If this is not possible, then they must work with their MACC instructor and the JWCC Testing Center to see if alternative JWCC campus testing options are allowed and available.
Students may opt for a one-time writing appeal to demonstrate the writing (but not reading) skills necessary for LAL101 or equivalent. An advisor will schedule the student by enrolling them in the Canvas writing appeal course. The appeal is a 90-minute timed writing assignment, with a topic selected from a predefined series of options. If the appeal is granted, the student is deemed to have satisfied the minimum writing requirement for LAL101 or equivalent. Results will be communicated to the student by MACC Student Affairs. There is no charge for the writing appeal. Please see an advisor for additional details.

WorkKeys is a job skills assessment system measuring “real-world” skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Upon completion each student will receive an NCRC Certificate of completion which is a portable credential that demonstrates achievement and a certain level of workplace employability skills in Applied Math, Graphic Literacy, and Workplace Documents.
The Applied Math assessment measures critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving techniques for situations that actually occur in today’s workplace. While individuals may use calculators and conversion tables to help with the problems on the assessment, math skills are still needed to think them through. More Information
Workplace graphics come in a variety of formats, but all communicate a level of information. From charts to graphs, diagrams to floor plans, identifying what information is being presented and understanding how to use it are critical to success. The Graphic Literacy assessment measures the skill needed to locate, synthesize, and use information from workplace graphics. More information
Employees need to be able to understand written text to do a job. The Workplace Documents assessment measures the skills people use when they read and use written text such as memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations on the job. More information
Fees for the WorkKeys:
MACC does not currently charge its students for completing the WorkKeys test.
