Placement Test

Students who plan to take Mathematics S0065, S1001, S1003, or Calculus, I and who have not recently taken the College Board mathematics achievement test or the General Studies Mathematics Placement Examination must take an informal diagnostic placement test. This test will be given at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the following dates: Thursday, May 17; Monday, May 21; Thursday, June 28; and Monday, July 2; and at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 18; and Friday, June 29. The test will be given in the Tutorial Lab, 308B Lewisohn. Students must present a photo ID before taking the test.

Students wishing to discuss taking courses above Calculus, I should consult the departmental contact.
