Navigating the Math Placement Exam
This page allows you to familiarize yourself with the Math Placement Exam that Freshmen and some transfer students are required to take. Once you start one portion of the exam, you have to finish it. So don't start unless you are ready! You may take each part separately, but all parts must be complete before coming to Orientation. The Math Placement Exam is not a graded test. Instead it is used to place you in the appropriate level of math. Your score will automatically be sent to your adviser who will then help you to pick the right math courses when you're on campus for Orientation. It is to your advantage to follow instructions and policies. Soliciting outside help with the exam can only hurt you if it results in your placement into math beyond your true ability. Setup Before starting your Math Placement Exam, you should have signed up for a Directory ID. Your directory ID is the set of characters before the "@mail.umd.edu" portion of your University e-mail address. For example: University e-mail address- jdoe@mail.umd.edu Login After clicking the Math Placement Exam link on the bottom of this page you will see the login screen. Select Exam Parts The exam consists of four parts and one pre-test. Please complete the Math Placement Exam Pre-Test before taking the exam. After you complete the Pre-test, you may complete the following sections in any order you wish. It is recommended that you complete the sections in numerical order. Click on Part 1 to start taking the exam. Once you finish the first part, come back to this screen and continue with Parts 2,3 and 4. You must complete all parts before Orientation.
If you receive an error message when clicking on one of the parts, you probably have already completed it. Take the Math Placement Exam Continue to the Math Placement Exam
