Placement exam scores determine what courses students will be placed.
Click on the exam for a list of cut scores. Tests scores are valid for two years from
date test is taken.
Students who test into ANY developmental education course must also enroll in SLS1501
(Introduction to the College Experience).
EA = Elementary Algebra; CLM = College-level Mathematics; STEM = science, technology,
engineering and mathematics; QAS = Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics;
AAF = Advanced Algebra Functions

*If QAS is administered and the score is 255-300, the exam will automatically branch
into AAF. If PERT is taken first and a score of 123 or higher is achieved, then only
AAF should be administered. Either way, an AAF Score of at least 250 is required for
Higher Level Math.
