Mathematics Placement Exam

Placement into the appropriate mathematics course is key to successfully completing all mathematics requirements in a program of study. Students have the option of using the ALEKS PPL program to determine the appropriate mathematics course. The ALEKS PPL program assessment must be completed prior to enrolling in College Algebra (MATH 1111), Plane Trigonometry (MATH 1112), Precalculus Mathematics (MATH 1113), Discrete Mathematics (MATH 2120) or Calculus I (MATH 1251) unless one or more of the other prerequisites have been satisfied. Additional information about the ALEKS PPL program is available at https://www.mga.edu/testing-services/tests/math-placement.php.  

Minimum ALEKS scores for the various mathematics courses are as follows. A student should consult with an advisor for the appropriate mathematics course.
