Any student who does not transfer college credit in mathematics must take the Mathematics Placement Exam (MPE).  Take this test seriously because you are allowed to take this exam only one time.  You will have an hour to complete the test, and you may use a calculator.  Your score will determine the mathematics class in which you will be allowed to register.  Since it places students in a broad range of classes, from Basic Mathematics to Calculus I, questions on the MPE range from arithmetic to college algebra and trigonometry.   You aren’t expected to know how to do all the problems.  Just do your best on the questions you understand.   Students are required to bring two number 2 pencils, a photo id, and a calculator (excluding the TI-89, TI-91, TI-92 or cellular/mobile phones).

The ACT Residual Exam is required of each incoming student who has not previously taken the National ACT test. The exam is a national ACT exam; however, the sub-score you receive in English will determine the English course you will enroll in. The exam will take approximately four hours to complete, and will be offered on the second day of each ROAR 2008 session. Students are required to bring two number 2 pencils, a photo id, and you may use a calculator (excluding the TI-89, TI-91, TI-92 or cellular/mobile phones) for the math portion of the test. The cost of the examination is $30.00. Please mark your ROAR 2008 RSVP Form if it is necessary for you to take this exam and enclose your payment for the examination along with your ROAR fees.
