Math Placement Exam If you are planning to enroll concurrently in a mathematics course, please review these related requirements. Who needs to take the Math Placement Exam? Students who plan to take an OSU math course and don't already have college-level math credit with a C or better (on a college transcript) in a prerequisite or required math course for their major will need to take the math placement exam.* *Note: Beginning and intermediate algebra do NOT count as college-level math.
Where do I take the Exam? The best testing environment is in a controlled location conducive to the needs of the test taker. However, OSU will allow an exception for the initial test based on ACT/SAT score. • If your ACT math score is 19 or greater, or your SAT math score is 460 or greater, your initial exam may be taken from any computer with Internet access. If you would like to retake the exam, subsequent attempts must be done in a PROCTORED setting. •
If your ACT math score is below 19, and your SAT math score is below 460, or if your test scores are not on file with OSU, you must take the exam in a PROCTORED setting. If the exam is not proctored, the test cannot count for placement purposes.
PROCTORING - The following test sites offer proctoring at no charge to OSU students (please make appointments 24 hours in advance): • OSU-Stillwater Testing Center (405-744-5958) • OSU-Tulsa Testing Center (918-594-8232) • OSU-OKC Testing Center (405-945-8648) See placement.okstate.edu/proctor for a complete list of all approved proctor sites, including an internet option using a webcam. Please note some of these will charge a fee. In addition, you may have a local site contact University Assessment and Testing (405-744-5958) to establish itself as a certified testing site. How often may the exam be taken? You may take up to five exams without cost during an 11-month period. After your first attempt, exams must be proctored, regardless of ACT or SAT score. At least 24 hours is required between each attempt. For your convenience, learning modules are available following your first exam to serve as a tutorial and refresher. You will have 6 weeks of free access to the modules, beginning the day you first open them. Additional access to the learning modules is available for a fee.
Please direct any enrollment-related questions to your academic adviser in the LASSO Center (405-744-5333). To access the OSU Math Placement Exam, visit placement.okstate.edu/math.
