Advanced Math Placement Test

 

Registration for placement testing for Spring Term is now open! Register for a test.

Placement Testing for Summer and Fall terms will start Week 5 (4/29/2013). Registration for placement testing will open Week 4 (4/22/2013). 

The Advanced Math Placement Test is designed specifically for the student who has an SAT-Math score of 550 or higher (ACT-Math score of 25 or higher) but who believes he/she is prepared to begin taking math at a level higher than MATH 105 or MATH 111. Typically such a student has taken Trigonometry, Elementary Functions, and/or Calculus at the high school level.

 Advanced Math Placement Scoring Guide

Class
Part 1
Part 2
Math 105/111/211/243
0-5

 

Math 112/241
6-10
0-3
Math 231/246/251
6-10
4-8

 

Placement will depend on meeting minimum scores in each of the parts of the test. Your score is simply the total number of correct answers in each part of the test you take. The table below shows the number of correct answers in each part of the test required for placement into introductory math classes. You are allowed up to 50 minutes for this test. Calculators are allowed and retesting is permitted.

Exceptions to Math Placement Testing

Students with qualifying scores on the AP Calculus exam (AB or BC), or the CLEP Calculus with Elementary Functions exam are not required to take a math placement exam prior to registering for their first University mathematics course. Students who have taken a math course (MATH 095 or higher) at another institution and passed with a C- or higher, are permitted to register for the next appropriate course in their sequence without taking a math placement exam.
