Note:  Do not choose MAT 121 if you have earned Advanced Placement, Project Advance, or transfer credit for calculus or pre-calculus, please refer to the Advanced Placement & Transfer Credit Section of the Course Catalog for additional information.

You MUST take the mathematics placement test before entering a quantitative skills course in the FTES form.

Mathematics Placement Test

The Placement test link is on the first page of the FTES form.  You will need your SU netID and password to access the test (the same netID and password used to access MySlice).

• • Take the test without studying or using a calculator. Otherwise, you could be placed in a course that is too advanced.
  • The test has fifty questions and should take you about an hour to complete.
  • Once you submit an answer, that question is scored, and the answer cannot be changed.
  • You may interrupt the test by saving your answers and returning to complete the remainder of the questions later. You may not return to the test once you have submitted it for scoring.
  • This is a placement. Please be sure that the answers are an accurate reflection of your own knowledge to avoid placement in a course for which you may not be academically prepared.
  • Frequently Asked Questions section about placement tests>>
  • After you complete the test, you will have access to a summary page that will indicate your scores on MySlice Student Services►Placement Exams ►View Placement Exam Results.
