College-level math can more rigorous than high school courses, even when it is the same content. The Math Placement Assessment is designed to assess your math skills and place you in the appropriate math level where you can be most successful.
Prior to registering for a placement, students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor. Students should also view the General Placement Testing Information page for further information.
