For Students

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) require that all community colleges in Virginia take part in assessments of state-mandated Core Competencies. The Quantitative Reasoning Assessment (QRA) has been chosen by VCCS to measure general student abilities in math for beginning students and graduating students.
