Math Placement Exam:

Because most undergraduate programs at 911������ require some work in mathematics, all entering students are required to take the Math Placement Test.

There are two versions of the Math Placement test: Test B and Test D.

• Test B - ACT math score of 24 or lower (SAT math score of 580 or lower)
• Test D - ACT math score of 25 or higher (SAT math score of 590 or higher)

Scoring high enough on Test B will allow you to take Test D (precalculus) which may result in a higher placement level.

NOTE: The Math Placement Exam is used only as a placement tool. No course credit will be given, nor will the exam fulfill any math requirements for your chosen major. The exam has a maximum time limit of 75 minutes. Please provide yourself with an environment that will give you uninterrupted time and an atmosphere conducive for working math problems.

The Math Placement Test is an important tool that determines a student's beginning placement level in math and science courses. Refer to the link for additional Math Placement Test information and links to study materials at .
