Mathematics Placement Examination at NMSU

You may use your own calculator during the test, but a calculator is neither required nor necessary.  You may use a graphing calculator on the test.

The recommended time for the exam is one hour, but it is generally given in an un-timed format.  Some test administrations may have a time limit due to the restrictions of administering the test. There is no charge to take the Mathematics Placement Exam.

The Mathematics Placement Exam is given on a walk-in basis in the Mathematics Testing Center, Walden Hall, Room 101.  Hours for the Testing Center are available at the MSC Home Page. It will also be administered off-site on the times and locations listed below.

You will need a picture i.d. to take the MPE.  When you have completed the exam, wait and the proctor will grade it and give you a copy of your scores.
