You may want to do some practice problems after completing the assessment. A minimum score of 130 on the practice exam is a good indicator of success on the actual placement exam.

Come to the Developmental Mathematics Program (DMP) when you have finished practicing and wish to take the placement test.  The DMP is located in Popplewell Hall 108, 109, and 114.
