Here is a 14 minute video of Dr. Jeff Phillips explaining exactly how to take our math placement exam, the first step in excelling in your math classes at Hanover College.
Do I need to take the math placement test?
The placement test is required before students can sign up for Physics (PHY 161, 162) and Calculus/Precalculus (MAT 113, 121). These courses are required for a number of majors:
Biochemistry, Chemistry, Data Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics
Students who are interested in any of the above areas MUST take the placement test.
Without a placement score, we will not be able to assess your readiness for courses that require a level of mathematical ability. This may prevent you from being assigned your desired fall term schedule, though you will still be able to make changes to your schedule during the August Experience.
What if I took or am taking AP Calculus in high school?
We still need you to take the placement test at this point. If you receive a 4 or 5 in the AP Calculus exam, you should arrange for the College Board to send your score report to Hanover College.
Students who are currently enrolled in dual-credit Calculus/Precalculus courses with an accredited college or university also must take the placement test at this time.
I'm ready to take the test!
