CALCULUS-I PLACEMENT TEST

Calculus-I Placement Test

 
 
 
 
  1. All CECS students, except Civil, Mechanical, Computer and Electrical Engineering students must take the Math Placement Test (MPT) administered by the University College. Based on the MPT result, students will either register in MTT 101 or in MTG 100. Students who will take MTG 100 must pass it with a minimum grade of C and the course will be considered as a remedial course.

  2. All Civil, Mechanical, Computer and Electrical Engineering students must take the Calculus Placement Test (CPT) administered by the CAS. Based on the CPT result, students will either register in MTT 102 (Calculus I) or take the MPT and be treated similar to the other students mentioned in (A) above. Students who will take MTT 101 must pass it with a minimum grade of C and the course will be considered as a remedial course. Students are allowed to take CPT only twice. .

Time of the Calculus I Placement Test

The Calculus I Placement Test for Summer 11-12 will take place on Wednesday, 6th of June 2012 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm.

It will take place in the following test rooms at AD and AA campuses:

AD-Female AD-Male AA-Female AA-Male
C-2F261 AND C-2F284 B-1F23 AA-C16 AA-G32
  • Kindly bring any valid ID.
  • Calculator is NOT allowed.

Important Notes:

  • Students who will take MTT 101 in Fall 10-11 are required to obtain a minimum grade of C in the course to register in MTT 102 – Calculus I in Spring 10-11.
  • The Calculus I Placement Test is a one-hour test.
  • The passing score is 70%.
  • It is the responsibility of those who pass or fail the Test to approach their advisors to enroll in MTT 102 (in case they pass) or MTT 101 (in case they fail).
  • Students who fail the test can enroll in MTT 101 or take the test again later.
  • Students are not allowed to take the Calculus I Placement more than twice.
