Welcome to GBC's Assessment Centre
If you're thinking about applying to George Brown or have applied already, you've likely heard about Admissions and Placement assessments. We're here to support you with these assessments, but first, here are some definitions to help you get started.
Admissions test vs Placement assessments
- Admission tests are used to determine if you meet the requirements to be accepted to the college.
- Placement Assessments in English and/or Math are taken after you have accepted an offer of admission. Placement assessments determine whether you are ready to take the college-level credit courses in English and/or Math in the first semester, or if you need to take a foundation level course first to further develop your skills.
