The MPE is a multiple choice exam. Guessing is not recommended as wrong answers are penalized more than blank answers. If students are not prepared for algebra, and the real problem is poor arithmetic or pre-algebra skills, students should consider taking a remedial Introductory Algebra course at Metropolitan Community College to improve in this area. This course is offered on the UNOmaha campus. Contact the Learning Center, EAB 117, 554-2992 for additional assistance for improving algebra skills.
Assistance includes audio visual tapes, computer software and texts.
This test, developed by the English Department, is used to determine your placement or proficiency in Freshman Composition by testing vocabulary, reading comprehension, and composition skills.
