Kapiʻolani Community College is also using EdReady College Readiness scores to help students determine their starting course for English and Math. After you complete the initial diagnostic test, you can use your score to register for classes. You can also keep working on your learning path to improve your score. When you hit a score milestone, you'll get an e-mail letting you know the next math or English course you have qualified for.

You only need to register once. The EdReady username and password you set up will give you access to both College English and Math Placement programs.

The EdReady diagnostic test can be taken from home and it does not need a proctor
