Information and the assessment can be found at [http://www.kutztown.edu/mathplacement](http://www.kutztown.edu/mathplacement. Note that this assessment should not)[. Note that this assessment should not](http://www.kutztown.edu/mathplacement. Note that this assessment should not) be rushed as it may result ina lower score than anticipated. You should allocate approximately one to two hours to complete this assessment.  \nIf you take the assessment (or have taken it already) and do not score high enough for an appropriate math class, it is possible for you to work through some “Prep and Learning Modules” in ALEKS, free of charge, to learn some of the necessary topics. You may take the assessment up to five times. If you wait too long to take this assessment or do not obtain a score for the math class appropriate for your major (MATH105 for Information Technology, MATH181 for Computer Science and MATH106 or MATH115 for Game Development), you may require additional time to graduate as it may require you to wait to take a math class or you may have to take pre-requisite math classes.  \nIf you are unable to score at least 46, you may opt to take a math class at a community college or other college and transfer it to KU. Be sure the course will transfer as a course you need foryour major (consult your advisor or the department chair) . If you opt for this path, you are encourage to complete a “Permit to Study at  \nAnother College” form, which is available on the Registrar’s Office web site ( [https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices/registrar.htm](https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices/registrar.html)[l](https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administrative-offices/registrar.html)).  \nThe scores will indicate the math class you may enroll. The math courses you should be taking for your first semester, if possible, are:  \n• Computer Science majors 􀃆 MATH181 (Calculus)  \no If not able to take MATH181, you may need to take a pre-requisite course such as MATH105 (College Algebra), MATH106 (Trigonometry), and/or MATH115 (Pre-calculus) .  \n• Data Science 􀃆 MATH105 (College Algebra) or above (MATH181 for Math track)  \n• Game Development majors 􀃆 MATH106 (Trig) or MATH115 (pre-Calc) or MATH181 (Calculus)  \no If not able to take MATH106 or MATH115, take the pre-requisite, MATH105 (College Algebra) .  \n• Information Technology majors 􀃆 MATH105 (College Algebra) or above  \nScore and related math course(s):  \n\n| Score | Course Placement |\n| --- | --- |\n| Up to 45 | Consider spending time in the Prep and Learning Module. |\n| 46-60 | MATH 105: College Algebra |\n| 61-75 | MATH 106: Trigonometry (MATH 105)\u003Cbr>MATH 115: Precalculus (MATH 105)\u003Cbr>MATH 121: Math for Business and Information Sciences (MATH 105)\u003Cbr>MATH 122: Applied Calculus (MATH 105)\u003Cbr>MATH 140QL: Applied Statistics (MATH 105) |\n| Greater than 75 | MATH 181: Calculus I (MATH 106 or MATH 115) |\n\nAfter completing the math assessment, and obtaining the score you are satisfied with, please contact the Computer Science & Information Technology Department chairperson, Dr Lisa Frye ([frye@kutztown.edu](frye@kutztown.edu)) to have your schedule updated accordingly.","cbCaim7ILxbYYRmm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim7ILxbYYRmm","pdf",163058,"English","# ALEKS placement assessment\n## Retake policy and preparation modules\n## Major-specific recommended courses\n## Score-based placement table\n## Next steps after assessment","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the ALEKS placement assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It determines placement into the proper math class for a student’s major and ability.\"},{\"question\":\"How many times can students retake the ALEKS assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Students may take the assessment up to five times.\"},{\"question\":\"What math courses correspond to common score ranges?\",\"answer\":\"Up to 45 suggests using Prep and Learning Modules; 46-60 places in MATH105, 61-75 corresponds to MATH106/MATH115 and related options, and greater than 75 places in MATH181 (Calculus I).\"},{\"question\":\"What should students do after they complete the assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Contact the Computer Science \\u0026 Information Technology Department chairperson, Dr. Lisa Frye, to update the schedule based on the achieved score and related course selection.\"}]","Math Placement Assessment (ALEKS) - Computer Science, Data Science, Game Development, and Information Technology Majors | PDF",1790461494]
