TCC has moved to a best practice in Developmental Studies that combines reading and English skill building. Your scores will reflect a double weight in reading and single weight in sentence skills. These two scores will now place you in one English class. If your score places you in the 10 - credit class of English 85 or English 95, you are required to take the 10 - credit class. If your score places you in the

8 - credit class of English 85 or English 95, we strongly recommend taking the 10 - credit class that includes two hours of additional classroom support each week.
