- [00:00:00.000]Welcome to the University of
- [00:00:05.630]Nebraska. The Department of
- [00:00:07.400]Mathematics and the
- [00:00:08.320]University are committed to
- [00:00:09.940]your success. One of your first
- [00:00:11.810]steps is the Math
- [00:00:12.660]Placement Exam, which is
- [00:00:13.880]designed to help you start in
- [00:00:15.200]the right math course based
- [00:00:16.560]on your current knowledge and
- [00:00:17.940]academic requirements. This is
- [00:00:19.830]a crucial step
- [00:00:21.000]toward your success in college.
- [00:00:23.390]To ensure accurate placement,
- [00:00:25.620]take this exam
- [00:00:26.440]honestly, without help from
- [00:00:28.210]others or outside resources.
- [00:00:30.160]Being placed in the
- [00:00:31.720]wrong course could set you back,
- [00:00:33.300]making your math journey harder
- [00:00:34.840]or delaying
- [00:00:35.380]your progress. Once you enroll
- [00:00:37.590]in a course, your readiness
- [00:00:39.200]will continue to
- [00:00:40.100]be confirmed through classwork,
- [00:00:41.840]assignments, and possibly a
- [00:00:43.400]readiness
- [00:00:43.780]assessment early in the
- [00:00:45.230]semester. So how should you
- [00:00:47.040]prepare for the exam? Take
- [00:00:49.320]advantage of the practice exams
- [00:00:51.040]available online, especially if
- [00:00:52.790]you
- [00:00:52.960]haven't taken math recently.
- [00:00:54.840]The practice exam
- [00:00:56.280]site also provides details on
- [00:00:58.100]how the test works and helpful
- [00:00:59.920]review materials.
- [00:01:01.280]You may take the math placement
- [00:01:03.110]exam only three times
- [00:01:04.370]throughout your college
- [00:01:05.760]career. Here are a couple of
- [00:01:08.120]test taking tips. Have some
- [00:01:10.520]scratch paper ready. A
- [00:01:12.560]graphing calculator is optional,
- [00:01:14.540]but you should be able to
- [00:01:15.890]complete the exam
- [00:01:16.980]without one. If you have
- [00:01:19.240]questions, new students should
- [00:01:21.760]contact New Student
- [00:01:22.820]Enrollment.
- [00:01:26.120]Students should follow the
- [00:01:27.530]instructions given or reach out
- [00:01:29.720]to the Department of
- [00:01:30.580]Mathematics if needed. Good
- [00:01:33.150]luck and Go Big Red!
