The Mathematics Placement Test is used to identify the mathematics courses at UC for which you have the prerequisite math skills. It is designed to be taken without the use of calculators or other aids. It consists of multiple choice questions that are presented to you one at a time. The selection of each new question is determined by your responses to the previous questions, so persons with different levels of preparation will see different kinds of questions.
Once the program determines your level of mathematical preparation, it displays a placement score on your monitor. You should keep a record of that score. It indicates the math courses at UC that are appropriate for a person with your skill level, and it will be made available to your advisor to guide you during registration.
If you are not happy with your math placement score, the following options are available to you:
Retake the math placement test. You must wait at least a minimum of 4 weeks before retaking the test and may only retake the test once. Please contact the testing center to schedule an appointment at (513) 732-5219.
