Options After Having Taken The Mathematics Assessment Examination

If you do not achieve a satisfactory score (16 or better) on the Mathematics Assessment Examination you have two choices.

Choice one: If your score was very low and/or your major requires mathematics courses you may wish to take Mathematics 010 to bring your mathematics skills up to par and also fulfill the requirement.

Choice two: Come to the Mathematics Learning Center with your test results to receive tutoring before taking the test a second time.

If you do not achieve a satisfactory score on the test on the second opportunity, then the only way to fulfill the requirement is passing Mathematics 010.
