In order to place you in the most appropriate math course, IUPUC requires all first-year students take the ALEKS Math Placement Exam. This tool provides your academic advisor with information about your mathematical strengths and weaknesses. If the results of your initial assessment aren’t as strong as you would like, you can retake the ALEKS assessment up to four more times (for a total of five assessments), in order to achieve your best outcome.
Please keep in mind, this test must be taken before you see an academic advisor.
