The Math Placement Exam is MANDATORY for ALL incoming students, and
must be completed by June 7, 2013. You must complete the exam regardless
of your intentions to take a Math course or not, and you will not be permitted
to register for a Math course unless you take the Math Placement Exam.
Information regarding your Math placement recommendation will be made
available to your advisor at Orientation.

The test is in an online program, so it may be completed on any computer (PC
or Mac) through which you can access the Internet. Remember that how you
connect to the Internet (dial-up, cable modem, DSL, etc.) will affect the speed
with which the Math Placement Exam will appear on your computer. Please
be patient and complete each step of the test process in order.

You have 30 minutes to complete the test. The exam has a total of 30 questions
that are multiple choice, and all of the questions will be displayed when
you open the test. You may answer the questions in any order. It is recommended
that you save your answers as you complete each question – you may
change and resave your answers at any time before you submit the test.
