Preparing for the Math Placement Exam before your scheduled testing date
The Math Placement Exam (MPE) will test your knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, logarithms, exponentials, etc. While the exam does not test your calculus knowledge, you should take it seriously and prepare for it well ahead of your scheduled testing date (i.e., review material, self-study and take practice exams).
In preparation for the MPE, you should take the MPE Practice Test for MATH 151. You can also visit our Virtual Math Learning Center to access additional study guides, handouts and video libraries. This is the perfect way to brush up on math concepts that you haven’t seen in a while.
The math department also provides a “pencil and paper” MPE Practice Test for MATH 147/151/171 and MPE Practice Test Solutions for your use.
Note:
- Scores earned on the online proctored exam will be used to place new students in the appropriate level math course.
- Calculators are not allowed during the exam.
