Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Math Placement exam and why do I need to take it?
The Math Placement exam determines which math course is appropriate for your skill level when starting college. The test measures your mathematical skills at the time it's taken and helps advisors recommend the right course so you're most likely to succeed. Starting in the wrong course (too advanced or too easy) can lead to frustration and poor performance.
Do I really have to take this test?
Yes, nearly every school makes new students take it unless you already have college math credit or a strong recent SAT/ACT math score. It is required for almost anyone in a STEM major and helps make sure you start in the right spot instead of guessing.
What kinds of math will be on the test?
The test covers basic arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, solving equations, factoring polynomials, quadratics, exponents, logarithms, functions, radicals, and sometimes basic trigonometry. It includes everything you studied from middle school through pre-calculus.
How long does the test take?
Most students finish in 60 to 90 minutes and answer 20 to 40 questions. Many tests are computer-adaptive, which means the questions get harder or easier based on your answers, and the test can end early once it knows your level.
How should I prepare for the Math Placement Exam?
You should absolutely prepare! Don't assume you remember everything from high school. Effective preparation includes:
- Reviewing Key Concepts: Use your old notes, textbooks, or online resources to refresh your knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
- Taking Practice Tests: This is the most effective method. Prephow Math Placement Practice tests help you familiarize yourself with the format, question types, and identify your weak areas.Try our free Math Placement Practice Test to get started.
Can I use a calculator on the test?
This is a critical question to ask your specific school. Policies vary widely. Some exams are designed to be taken without a calculator to test fundamental skills. Others may allow a basic scientific calculator, and some may even provide an on-screen graphing calculator within the testing software. Always check your institution's policy beforehand.
When and where do I take the exam?
Most colleges encourage students to take the placement exam online before they arrive on campus for orientation. Some may require you to take it at a testing center on campus or through a proctored online service. Your college's admissions or orientation office will provide specific instructions on how to access and complete the test.
