Math Placement Test

The Math Placement Test (MPT) is designed to assess your true knowledge and comprehension of Mathematics. This test can place you directly into university-level Mathematics courses, or recommend an appropriate upgrading course.

The MPT consists of four parts:

PART A	15 questions that test your skill level, understanding and ability to solve problems involving arithmetic. Time limit: 45 minutes
PART B	15 questions that test your understanding of mathematics up to a Grade 10 level with an emphasis on basic algebra. Time limit: 45 minutes
PART C	15 questions that test your understanding of algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry up to a Grade 11 level. Time limit: 45 minutes
PART D	20 questions that test your understanding of functions, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, exponentials, and logarithms up to a Grade 12 level. Time limit: 1 hour

Additional Information:

• Use of a calculator or dictionary during the MPT is strictly prohibited.
• A fee of $25.00 is payable to the Student Enrollment Services.
• The test may be re-written after 4 weeks, for a maximum of 3 times.
• The test fee is non-refundable and non transferable
