Middlesex Community College Offers Free Refresher Workshops
Reading, Writing & Math Refresher Workshops can help students brush up their skills before taking the College Placement Test.
Middlesex Community College offers FREE Reading, Writing and Math Refresher Workshops for students who want to brush up their skills before they take the College Placement Test. Workshops are offered all summer on the Bedford and Lowell Campuses.
“These workshops are a great opportunity for all students to be more successful throughout college,” said Phyllis Gleason, MCC’s Dean of Foundational Studies, First-Year Experience and General Education. “A short two-hour refresher course can help students score higher on the College Placement Test so they can begin classes at their appropriate learning level, preventing them from taking classes they don’t really need – saving time and money.”
MCC’s Reading Refresher Workshop helps students improve their reading skills and testing strategies to improve their score on the Reading Accuplacer Test. Topics covered during this workshop include finding main ideas, locating details, identifying patterns of organization, and making inferences.
