The math assessment includes three different exams, the Arithmetic exam (AR), the Elementary Algebra exam (EA) and the College Math exam (CM). The exams are adaptive, so you may do one or three of these exams depending on how the exam questions are answered.
- Students who have an ACT score of 19 or higher or SAT of 460 (500, if taken after March 2016) are exempt from taking the math assessment.
- However, students with an ACT score of 19-22 must take the math portion of the Accuplacer to place into MAT 121 or higher.
- Scores must be no more than five years old. Otherwise, assessment scores will determine placement.
- **IF A STUDENT PLACES BELOW THE BASELINE SCORE FOR THEIR PATHWAY, THEY WILL BE PLACED INTO MAT 050/020 OR MAT 055/025, DEPENDING ON THEIR PATHWAY. STUDENTS MAY ALSO OPT OUT OF TESTING AND PLACE DIRECTLY INTO THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL MATH CLASS AND LAB.**
