WSU Math Placement Information
Mathematics provides the foundation for many of the science, business, and professional courses you will take curing your college years. We want you to succeed.
With only a few exceptions, WSU undergraduate students are required to take the WSU Math Placement Exam (MPE) prior to enrolling in their first college-level mathematics course.
The WSU Math Placement Exam is through ALEKS and is a fully automated, adaptive system that covers a broad spectrum of college algebra and pre-calculus material. The ALEKS system zeros in on the strengths and weaknesses of a student's mathematical knowledge.
Benefits
Your results are reported to you immediately after the exam so you know what classes will be available to you during registration for your Alive! orientation session.
Your score will be available to your advisor in approximately one business day.

Restrictions If You Do Not Take The Test
Registration options for students who do not take the exam prior to enrolling in their first college-level math class will be limited to a developmental math course that does not fulfill any University requirements and does not count toward total credits needed for graduation. Developmental math students will also be charged an additional tuition fee.
