The VCU Online Math Placement Test 
The Online Math Placement Test is to be taken by all entering students, except those who have AP Credit in Calculus accepted as transfer credit. 

The Online Test is for entering first-year and transfer students only.  Current VCU students must instead take the Compass Placement Test
You may take each part of the test only once.

Each part of the test will end 75 minutes after you start it. You may not pause the timer. Make sure you are prepared to take the test for 75 minutes without interruption before starting the test.

Make sure you are on a reliable internet connection.  Close all other programs on your computer.  Close all other browser windows and tabs. 

You may not re-take this test for any reason.  If you have any trouble that prevents you from finishing the test, you must take the Compass Placement Test on campus.

If you have a problem with your computer or internet connection after you start the test, you may exit and re-enter the test on the same computer or on another computer within 75 minutes of starting the test.

Each part of the test will end 75 minutes after you start it.
There are two parts of the test:  The Algebra and Trigonometry tests. 

Most students will need to take only the Algebra test.  If, however, you are trying to place into Math 200 (Calculus), you need to take both tests. 

Here is a list of majors that require Math 200.  Note that even though your major may require Math 200, you are not required to take the Trig test.  You must take the Trigonometry test only if you are trying to place into Math 200.

Here is a partial list of 100 and 200 level Math, Statistics and Computer Science courses that have Math prerequisites.

If you are unhappy with your result from this test, you may opt to take the Compass Placement Test
You are on your honor when taking the test.  You may use paper and pencil to work the problems and a scientific or graphing calculator as long as it doesn't have a symbolic algebra system. 
You should not receive help from others, or use books or other resources such as web sites for help.  
It is not in your best interest to cheat on this placement test.

You do not want to place into a course that is beyond your current ability.

This test does not award credit or exempt you from a math requirement.
