- [00:00:01.050]The Department of Mathematics and the University
- [00:00:03.310]want you to be successful at Nebraska.
- [00:00:05.790]The Math Placement Exam helps identify
- [00:00:07.750]the right first math course based on your current knowledge
- [00:00:11.170]and academic requirements.
- [00:00:13.070]It is a critical first step towards your success.
- [00:00:16.050]Please take this exam honestly and as directed
- [00:00:19.200]with no help from another person or outside aids.
- [00:00:22.770]if you end up in a course
- [00:00:23.930]that is not a true match to your current abilities,
- [00:00:26.590]you won't be successful,
- [00:00:28.450]and it will ultimately delay your progress
- [00:00:30.390]and waste your time and tuition.
- [00:00:32.540]Your true readiness for any course you take
- [00:00:34.880]will continue to be confirmed through class activities,
- [00:00:37.770]assignments and possibly a course readiness assessment
- [00:00:40.910]early in the semester.
- [00:00:42.440]You may take this exam only three times
- [00:00:44.760]throughout your college career.
- [00:00:46.430]Therefore, I encourage you to take the practice tests
- [00:00:48.840]available online before you take this exam,
- [00:00:51.430]particularly if you are not currently taking a math course.
- [00:00:54.590]On the practice exam site, you will also find information
- [00:00:57.550]about how the Math Placement Exam operates
- [00:00:59.730]and suggestions for materials to review
- [00:01:01.820]outside of the practice exam.
- [00:01:04.140]Before you take the Math Placement Exam
- [00:01:06.040]here are some tips.
- [00:01:07.300]First, have some scratch paper handy.
- [00:01:09.700]And second, you may use a graphing calculator
- [00:01:12.190]if you want to, but you should be fine to take the exam
- [00:01:14.790]without a calculator.
- [00:01:16.670]If you have questions,
- [00:01:17.830]new students can contact New Student Enrollment.
- [00:01:20.730]If you're already enrolled at Nebraska,
- [00:01:22.600]you most likely have been given instructions
- [00:01:24.360]on how to proceed.
- [00:01:25.570]If necessary, contact the Department of Mathematics
- [00:01:27.970]with questions.
- [00:01:29.120]Good luck and welcome to Nebraska.
