Placement Exams

All entering students are encouraged to take the on-line Math Placement exam prior to attending Orientation. Students should take this placement exam at least one week before attending orientation. You can take this placement exam more than once.

Every major at the University of Central Florida requires a minimum of one Math course. Some majors require more than one course and the program of study requires a higher level of math competency. Therefore, it is very important that your math placement results mirror your abilities. We encourage you to take the placement exam in a quiet place and allow yourself at least one hour for the exam.

Once you have completed the math placement exam, you will know your results and the results will also be sent to the First Year Advising Office. Academic advisors will have your results at orientation as long as you have taken them at least one week prior to your orientation program.

Your math placement results can affect your class schedule your first year in college. That is why it is important that you complete the placement exam and understand the importance of the exam.
