The purpose of this math placement test is to help us determine a student's beginning placement level in math courses at 91大神 ATI.听This test is completed entirely online and should be submitted at least 10 days before your orientation date. The results will be sent to your advisor to prepare your schedule before you arrive for orientation.听If you require academic accommodations, please have them in place prior to testing. Contact听faes-atiods@osu.edu or visit听/disability-services for more information.听
There is a 75-minute time limit to complete the test. It is available and free to all students registered for orientation; check your To Do List to see if you need to take a placment test.听
There are two versions of the Math Placement test: Test B and Test D. (Your orientation confirmation letter indicates which version the student should take, if you aren't sure check your To Do List.)
- Test B听- ACT math score of 24 or lower (SAT math score of 580 or lower)
- Test D听- ACT math score of 25 or higher (SAT math score of 590 or higher)
Students that score high enough on B Test will automatically receive a computerized invitation to take D Test, which may result in a higher placement level.
