Math Placement Test

A placement test in mathematics helps determine the most appropriate beginning coursework for students based on their major of interest. Four placement tests are available: Quantitative Literacy, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.
 

Incoming first-time students will receive a link to a personalized survey that builds their mathematical history. The survey directs them to the most appropriate placement test based on this history and their major of interest.

Only a proctored attempt at the assessment may be used for placement.

Students have the option to take their proctored Math Placement Test online with ProctorU for a $10.50 charge, or in person at Testing Services for a $17 charge.

  • To schedule with ProctorU, in Canvas, students will navigate to the button “Register for the Online Testing Option.” Here, they will find a direct link to either create an account with ProctorU or log into a pre-existing account. From there, students can schedule their appointment.
  • Appointments for Testing Services can be made by clicking on the "Register Now" button below.

Continuing and transfer students must consult their advisor for guidance on determining the appropriate placement test. Tests were constructed assuming a student had completed their high school mathematics curriculum, and they are not available to current high school students.

High school students seeking to enroll in dual-credit coursework should refer to the ACT and/or KYOTE tests for placement into quantitative coursework.

 

Topics covered on each exam can be found below.
