About the Math Placement Assessment
As a new student to Monmouth University, you will take a Mathematics Placement Assessment so that you can be placed in the appropriate beginning mathematics course. Our goal is to make sure you are on the right track by starting in the most appropriate course depending on the major and placement level.
Please be honest. There is no benefit to cheating on the placement assessment. You cannot place out of the mathematics requirement at Monmouth University and could place into a level that is too difficult for you, potentially costing time and money. Please read all instructions, and do not consult outside resources for help (friends/family, internet searches, textbooks, notes, personal calculators, etc.).
Please take the placement assessment seriously. Placing into a level that is not challenging enough for you may result in additional required courses, potentially costing time and money. Please prepare for the assessment, and ensure you have time and an appropriate environment to do your best.
The results of this assessment will assist your advisor in placing you in the appropriate math course for your intended major. It is in the student’s best interest that we are administering this assessment. It is used for placement purposes only and will not have any effect on your admission status to Monmouth University.
