my objective is to start at a community college and not transfer to a 4 year college but to simply earn a certificate in medical administrative assistant. which do u think would be the best test to take-accuplacer, SAT, ACT? I read that the accuplacer does not fail or pass you. so does that mean i will be put into a certain math class depending on my score? if i do well , will i be placed in a class no matter what unlike the other tests that actually give you scores? also... i need opinions. getting a medical administrative assistant certificate at an accredited community college or through allied schools accredited online? 500 bucks for allied as opposed to each semester. im sure hands on at a community college is better. has anyone ever done a whole certificate thru online> how did that go for you? i appreciate all opinions and advice. thank-you all!
