What is the Math Placement Test?
The Math Placement Test determines readiness for one of seven GMU courses. Advanced non-calculus math courses MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 112 and MATH 125; the calculus courses MATH 108 (business calculus) and MATH 113 (more advanced calculus); and CS 112. The test covers four different areas of math: pre-algebra, algebra, college algebra, trigonometry. In the interest of time, not all students are given questions from all areas. When you begin the test, you will be asked which math course you are trying to test into. Your answer will determine what kinds of questions you will be given. Students who want to take Math 110 or 111 will be given questions in the pre-algebra area only. Students who want MATH 108, MATH 112 or MATH 125 will be given questions in the algebra area only. Students who want MATH 113 or CS 112 will be given questions in the algebra, college algebra, and trigonometry areas.
