What if a students ACT score qualifies him or her for a higher level class than their Math Placement Score (or vice versa)?
The Math Department will always accept the higher of the two scores for placement purposes. Thus, a student with an ACT of 23 but an MPE score of Level 1 would technically be qualified to take College Algebra (see prerequisite sheet). However, when significant discrepancies exist between test scores students should be cautious about the classes they choose to take and ideally should consult with the Math Department about an appropriate course.
