Who is required to take the CSM placement tests?
All new and returning students are required to be assessed prior to registration to determine their skill level in English, reading and mathematics. It is important that your counselor/advisor review your placement test results so that, in combination with other relevant information, he/she can assist you in choosing the appropriate courses to take in order to help you reach your educational goal. While no single placement test score by itself can exclude a student from enrolling in any particular course, these tests provide one of the most effective means for measuring your knowledge of English, reading and mathematics.
