The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has developed an on-line Mathematics Placement Test (MPT)  for new university students. Students who are registered in most 100 level Math courses are required to write the MPT before they are allowed to register for calculus.

Topics covered on the MPT are: 

• Arithmetic skills
• Basic algebra and functions
• Geometry and trigonometry
• Exponential and logarithmic functions

For practice questions that will prepare you to take the MPT, use the Sample Math Placement Test from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

If you have questions about the MPT, contact Amos Lee in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
