The practice exercises below were written to allow you to do well on the Arithmetic portion of the ACCUPLACER Mathematics Placement Test and on the Math Diagnostic Tests for placement into Math 093 and Math 095.  The indented links show detailed solutions and explanations of the concepts to the problems presented.  Please read the document "Placement Cut-Off Scores" located on the Math Department Web site in the "Placement Info" column.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY: 

• The questions on the Mathematics Placement Tests are multiple choice and will be presented to you on a computer screen.  You will be given scratch paper by the Testing Center staff so that you can find the correct answer which you then have to mark on the computer screen! 
• You are NOT allowed to use your own calculator.  There is a calculator built into the ACCUPLACER testing software that will be displayed for certain questions.  For the Diagnostic Tests you are not allowed to use a calculator at all.  If you are caught using a calculator where not expressly allowed, you will be penalized.! See "Academic Dishonesty" policy.
• The placement tests are untimed.  However, plan to be at the Testing Center for at least one (1) hour.  Suggestion ... a longer stay and hard work will increase your chances of placing into your desired mathematics course.
