We are excited that you have chosen the School of Business (SoB) for your education for a lifetime.
At SoB we believe in our mission: We empower students with the knowledge and values necessary to lead, serve, and succeed in their careers, communities and lives. In this spirit and to ensure that students will have the required quantitative knowledge for business careers, all SoB curricula include at least three quantitative courses.
As part of that mission, we've created a placement exam that provides an opportunity for you to get ahead. Depending on your score, you will potentially skip the first quantitative course and you will be advanced onto the second one.
Our main goal is to help you succeed. We offer a variety of help in the quantitative courses through both individual and group tutoring and we want to ensure that each student is placed as accurately as possible to enhance their learning experience. To that end, we ask that you take this assessment by yourself, so we have an accurate evaluation of your quantitative skills.
- Set aside one hour of uninterrupted time. The multiple-choice test can't be paused. You will have 60 minutes to complete this assessment in one sitting.
- Review ahead of time. You might be a little rusty on some of the topics (listed below), and that’s okay. Refreshing your memory will help you prepare for the placement test and your classes.
- It is all multiple choice.
- Gather helpful tools. You will want some paper, a writing utensil, and a calculator.
- There will be only one submission.
- The test will be given via Canvas so you will need access to a computer for this time period.
- Once you are registered, you can take the test at any time or any day during the testing period.

- Order of Operations
- Factoring and Foiling Monomials and Polynomials
