Informed Math Placement
Find the Best Math Class for You
Choosing the best math class is important as you start your college journey. Informed Math Placement will help you choose the class that fits your skills, and guide you toward courses to reach your academic goals.
What to Expect
Informed Math Placement is a tool that will ask you questions about math.
You will be asked:
- Questions about yourself and your math experience.
- How you feel about some math topics.
- How you feel about the same topics after seeing solutions.
This is NOT a test. Rather, it is a survey to help us place you into a class where you can thrive and succeed.
After You Finish
One to two business days after you finish, you’ll get an email with your math placement. Then, talk with an entry advisor about what to do next.
If you’re unsure of what you want to major in, read about different Degree Pathways before you talk to an entry advisor.
Before You Start
- Find a quiet place with good internet. Use Chrome or Firefox browsers if you can. The survey takes about 20 minutes. You can only do this survey once, so answer carefully.
- Have paper and a pencil ready to write notes or do math.
- Answer all questions honestly. If you’re not sure, go with your first thought.
Remember, this is not a test. Being HONEST helps us find the best math class for you.
