Math Assessment

 

English and math placement testing

The Center for Academic Enrichment (CAE) provides a free math assessment to aid incoming students in ​math course selection. This tool is designed to help you assess your ​mathematical knowledge and skills ​and make choices that will facilitate your academic success.​

Who should take the assessment?

Incoming students needing a quantitative reasoning course are strongly encouraged to take the math assessment, as your results may guide you towards the best path for success in completing your quantitative reasoning requirement.

Students looking to enroll in MATH 425 (Calculus I) are required to take the math assessment unless they already meet the prerequisite for the course.

When, where, why & how?

The math assessment can be taken online at a place and time that are most convenient for you!  Your assessment should be completed prior to your scheduled advising appointment to ensure class selections that are appropriate for you and your academic goals.

Contact the CAE (unhm.cae@unh.edu) with your UNH email address to request access to the free math assessment.

Testing Accommodations

If you have a documented disability which requires testing accommodations, we recommend you contact Disability Specialist Kerrie Shapiro (sas.office@unh.edu) or call Student Accessibility Services at (603) 862-2607 prior to taking your assessment.

Appropriate documentation must be submitted to and approved by Student Accessibility Services to ensure the CAE is able to provide the necessary accommodations for the assessment. 


After completing the assessment, you will

  • be able to consider which math courses would be appropriate for you based on your score,

  • have immediate access to free, individualized Prep and Learning Modules to improve your mathematical knowledge, and

  • be able to re-take the assessment up to three times to improve your score (for up to six months after your first assessment).
