Welcome to the Math Placement Test page! This page contains details regarding the actual math placement test.
The test consists of 41 questions. Depending on your math background, some of the questions may seem unfamiliar to you. That is OK! The goal of the test is not to assign a grade but simply to assess your level of mathematical preparation in order to guide you towards an appropriate schedule. You should answer the questions as best you can, and skip over any questions relating to concepts that you are not familiar with.
Important details
- No calculator: You should not use a calculator or other aids. You should have paper and pencil handy to work through each problem before entering its answer.
- Exam length: You will have 90 minutes
- Extra time: We can make accommodations for students who need extra time on exams. Please email mathplacement@hanover.edu about it before you start the exam.
- IMPORTANT: The first question on the test is not really a question, but rather instructions for using the system. Please PAY ATTENTION to those instructions.
- Login: Your username for the test site is the same as your Hanover email but without the
@hanover.edu
part. So if your email isdoej22@hanover.edu
then your username for the test would bedoej22

- Problems: If you run into any problems during the exam, for instance due to a lost internet connection, you can simply start a new attempt.
