The program is governed by a committee comprised of faculty and testing staff from participating institutions. The MPT can be taken in late Spring at Statewide testing sessions, or at the following institutions throughout the year:Central Washington UniversityEastern Washington UniversitySpokane Falls Community CollegeUniversity of WashingtonWashington State UniversityWestern Washington UniversityTesting RequirementsThe Mathematics Placement Test is required for most students who are planning to enroll in first-year mathematics courses at the state’s public universities and some community colleges. Results of the MPT help students and university advisors select mathematics courses for which students are best prepared. The General Math Placement Test (MPT-G) can also be used to demonstrate college readiness. Eleventh grade students who achieve a score above the college readiness cutoff, and who subsequently enroll in 12th-grade math, will not be required to take remedial math when they enter college.Placement DecisionsEach institution sets its own requirements for taking the MPT and placement cutoffs. Questions regarding course placement or exemption from testing should be directed to the mathematics department of the institution the student plans to attend (see Institutional Contacts on last page of this brochure).Academic Placement Testing Program206-543-17904311 11th Ave NE, Box 354987aptp@u.washington.eduSeattle, WA 98195placement.washington.eduAbout the TestsThree versions of the test enable accurate placement of students with varying levels of academic preparation. Specific placement cutoffs reflect the content and difficulty level of each course. Students should choose among the tests based on the course in which they wish to enroll, their level of academic preparation, and the requirements of their institution.The General Math Placement Test (MPT-G) is directed toward students who have less than three or four years of high school math and who will be entering pre-calculus or general college-level math classes. Test content is aligned with the Washington State College Readiness Mathematics Standards, and a single college readiness cutoff (raw score=17) is accepted at all Washington public post-secondary institutions. Eleventh grade students who achieve a score above the college readiness cutoff, and who subsequently enroll in 12th-grade math, will not be required to take remedial math when they enter college.The Intermediate Math Placement Test (MPT-I) is of a similar level of difficulty as the MPT-G. It is directed toward students who have less than three or four years of high school math and who will be entering pre-calculus or general college-level math classes. The test covers Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Pre-Calculus I. The Advanced Math Placement Test (MPT-A) is directed toward students who have taken at least three or four years of high school math and who wish to enroll in Calculus. It covers Intermediate Algebra and Pre-Calculus I and II. Sample ProblemsA set of sample problems is available to help students to prepare for the MPT. See: placement.washington.eduRegistering for the TestAPTP Statewide test administration takes place in May and June each year. Starting in early February, students register online at placement.washington.edu for testing sessions throughout the state. Since test dates fill quickly, students are encouraged to register as soon as possible. The test fee is $15. Institutions charge higher fees for On-Campus testing ($25-$45) and capacity is limited. Contact specific institutions (see last page) for more information. Students are encouraged to take the MPT during Statewide sessions to avoid delays in registering for classes. 2010 Statewide Testing ScheduleDateLocationTest SiteTime5/1/10TacomaTacoma Community College8:30 am5/1/10Boise, IDBoise State University9:00 am5/3/10ColvilleColville Center, CC of Spokane4:30 pm5/6/10AuburnGreen River Community College6:00 pm5/7/10WenatcheeWenatchee Valley College3:00 pm5/7/10BellinghamWestern Washington University3:45 pm5/7/10CheneyEastern Washington University4:30 pm5/8/10LongviewLower Columbia College9:00 am5/8/10ShorelineShoreline Community College10:30 am5/12/10SpokaneSpokane Community College5:00 pm5/15/10Walla WallaWalla Walla High School8:00 am5/15/10AberdeenGrays Harbor College8:45 am5/15/10WenatcheeWenatchee Valley College9:00 am5/15/10Coulee DamLake Roosevelt High School9:00 am5/15/10TonasketTonasket High School9:00 am5/15/10PullmanWashington State University9:00 am5/15/10Port AngelesPeninsula College10:00 am5/19/10BellinghamWestern Washington University3:45 pm5/20/10Friday HarborFriday Harbor High School1:00 pm5/20/10ColvilleColville Center, CC of Spokane4:30 pm5/20/10AuburnGreen River Community College6:00 pm5/21/10Anchorage, AKEast Anchorage High School2:00 pm5/21/10WenatcheeWenatchee Valley College3:00 pm5/22/10VancouverMcLoughlin Middle School9:00 am5/22/10LongviewLower Columbia College9:00 am5/22/10YakimaEisenhower High School9:00 am5/22/10SeattleUniversity of Washington9:00 am5/22/10OlympiaSouth Puget Sound CC9:00 am5/22/10ShorelineShoreline Community College10:30 am5/28/10WenatcheeWenatchee Valley College3:00 pm6/3/10AuburnGreen River Community College6:00 pm6/4/10Anchorage, AKEast Anchorage High School3:00 pm6/5/10TacomaTacoma Community College8:30 am6/5/10AberdeenGrays Harbor College8:45 am6/5/10VancouverMcLoughlin Middle School9:00 am6/5/10YakimaEisenhower High School9:00 am6/5/10Boise, IDBoise State University9:00 am6/11/10CheneyEastern Washington University4:30 pm6/12/10LongviewLower Columbia College9:00 am6/12/10VancouverMcLoughlin Middle School9:00 am6/12/10SpokaneSpokane Community College10:00 am6/12/10ShorelineShoreline Community College10:30 am6/16/10PascoColumbia Basin College1:00 pm6/16/10VancouverMcLoughlin Middle School4:00 pm6/17/10TonasketTonasket High School9:00 am6/17/10AuburnGreen River Community College6:00 pm6/18/10PascoColumbia Basin College9:00 am6/19/10TacomaTacoma Community College8:30 am6/19/10SeattleUniversity of Washington9:00 am6/22/10EllensburgCentral Washington University9:00 am6/24/10Port AngelesPeninsula College2:00 pm6/26/10BremertonOlympic College8:00 am6/26/10TacomaTacoma Community College8:30 am6/26/10OlympiaSouth Puget Sound CC9:00 am6/26/10LongviewLower Columbia College9:00 am6/26/10SeattleUniversity of Washington9:00 am6/26/10ShorelineShoreline Community College10:30 am ................
