Math Placement Exam Requirements for Transfer Students:
If you are a transfer student you do not have to take the Math Placement Exam.
There
is one exception—if you are planning to take MATH 147/151/171 at
A&M, a prerequisite restriction will prevent you from enrolling in
this course unless you either have credit for MATH 150 at TAMU or a
grade on the MPE. If you have taken a pre-calculus course equivalent to
MATH 150 (TCCNS 2412) at another institution, your A&M advisor
might be able to substitute that for MATH 150; otherwise, you will have
to take the MPE before you can enroll in MATH 147/151/171Math Placement Exam Information and Requirements for Freshman Students:
What is the Math Placement Exam (MPE)?
The Math Placement Exam is a multiple-choice examination. The MPE is important because it helps your advisor determine which mathematics course you should take. You will not be permitted to register for any mathematics course until you have completed the Math Placement Exam.Do I need to take the Math Placement Exam?
