Everyone taking their first math course at Western, except as noted below, must take the Math Placement Test before they register for a math course, even if they have received credit from Western for math courses taken elsewhere. Test is waived for students who scored three or higher on ETS' Advanced Placement Calculus Exam. Students are admitted to mathematics courses based on Math Placement Test results as shown in the following table. If you score two or less on the advanced test, you must take the intermediate test. Registration is not required.
Checks are okay.
Calculators may not be used on either the intermediate or the advanced test. The Math Placement Test is given every day the first week of classes each quarter, and on most Mondays and Thursdays through the quarter. See schedule below for specific dates.
