Accuplacer Math Placement Tests:
The MSU Denver Math department uses the Accuplacer Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics test (QAS) and the Accuplacer Advanced Algebra and Functions test (AAF) to place students in college level math courses. Math courses have different placement requirements, please see the chart below for details.
Testing at home for Math placement:
Testing Services is offering Math virtual proctoring placement tests (take at home) via this request form: Request Math Distance Test
Accuplacer Math placement tests are available to be taken at home using a high-speed internet connection and a webcam. Test administrations must be monitored using a webcam by a remote proctoring service.
