Math Self-Assessment

All incoming MSCEP students should take and self-report your scores for the math exam self-assessment. The self-assessment will give you a sense of the material used in your coursework as well as guide the curriculum covered during orientation. 

It's best to take the entire self-assessment in one sitting, so find a quiet space with no notes. Score your self-assessment using the grading guides, and report your scores by June 11 so that instructors can better plan for orientation.
