The ELM examination is designed to assess the skill levels of entering CSU students in the areas of elementary and intermediate algebra and plane geometry. Such skills generally are acquired in three years of rigorous college preparatory mathematics courses in the high school. Students who fail the ELM are required to take remedial math courses during their first year at SJSU. For more information on the ELM, please log on to http://welcome.sjsu.edu/testing/. The Math Placement Exam will determine the level of college math you may register for upon entrance to the university. The Math Placement Exam covers material from four years of specifically: College Algebra, Trigonometry and Properties of Elementary Functions. All students are required to pass (or exempt from) the ELM before they can take the MPE.
