Access and complete the math placement via your Roadmap by Monday, Oct. 23. If the math placement does not appear in your portal, you do not need to complete the exam.
If your intended major(s) require calculus, your score will be used to help place you into the most appropriate math course during your first semester at Case Western Reserve University. If your intended major does not require calculus, you are still required to complete the math placement, but do not need to register for a calculus course this upcoming semester.
Here is some additional information about the math placement at CWRU:
- Credit earned through AP or IB exams and/or college-level coursework will be used for your math course placement in place of your math placement score.
- If you had testing accommodations in the past or require additional time to complete the placement, contact Disability Resources at disability@case.edu [using subject: Math Placement] as soon as possible. You will be notified via email if your testing accommodations can be met.
- If you would benefit from additional math preparation through self-study, the Department of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics recommends www.aleks.com as an optional, fee-based service. This is not required or expected.
- Important: This 60-minute exam must be completed without the aid of additional resources. The use of notes, calculators, or any other resource is not permitted. We need an accurate representation of your skills in order to best place you in the best course for your success.
- If you recently completed or are currently enrolled in a college-level precalculus or calculus course at another college or university, please let your four-year advisor know. They will help you begin the process to determine whether or not the course is equivalent to a math course at CWRU and therefore eligible for transfer credit.
You will receive more information about course registration and other academic information during your four-year advisor meeting.
