It outlines the specific GEM 3 requirements for various academic programs, ranging from technical certificates to advanced STEM degrees. The guide details prerequisite course structures, recommended developmental math sequences, and standardized testing benchmarks, including ALEKS, ACT, SAT, and ISAT score interpretations. By establishing clear guidelines for initial course placement, the document ensures students follow an appropriate academic sequence to meet graduation requirements. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of collaborating with academic advisors to confirm that chosen math pathways align with specific degree goals and transfer institutional standards. With clear breakdowns of course progression and placement score thresholds, students are empowered to navigate their educational journey effectively while building necessary mathematical skills for their future careers.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/math-placement-interpretations-program-pathways-and-requirements/397398/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/math-placement-interpretations-program-pathways-and-requirements/397398.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"lilac","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-09-26",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the primary math pathways in Idaho higher education?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The Idaho State Board of Education identifies four distinct math pathways, each containing at least one GEM 3 course to support different programs of study.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How long are math placement scores valid?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Most math placement scores are valid for four years from the date taken, while ISAT scores are valid for two years.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What should I do if I do not place into a GEM 3 math course?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Students who do not meet the placement requirements for a GEM 3 course are required to take the listed prerequisite courses to build the necessary foundational skills.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},397398,1791301300,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":34,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81,"preview_page_count":4},3985747861865,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","Math Placement Interpretations  \nTake math first! Math builds durable skills.  \nCut-scores are intended for initial math placement. Placement does not waive GEM 3 graduation requirements.  \nPlease work with an advisor to ensure proper course sequencing for your intended degree, program, and/or transfer institution.  \nMost math placement scores are valid for four years from the date they are taken. ISAT scores are valid for 2 years. ALEKS Math Placement Assessment can be taken up to five times, and access to online review resources is available after the first assessment is taken. If you need a quick review, don't hesitate to contact the Math Education Center for workshop details.  \nUnderstanding Math Pathways in Idaho Higher Education  \nThe Idaho State Board of Education identifies four math pathways. Each includes at least one GEM 3.  \nEach math pathway supports different programs of study.  \nSuccessful completion of at least one GEM 3 is required for graduation with an AA, AS, or AAS degree. GEM 3 courses are indicated with a “GEM 3” superscript. Prerequisites are listed immediately preceding the GEM 3 in the respective column. Students who do not place into a GEM 3 math course are required to take the prerequisite course. All recommended developmental math courses are listed above the prerequisites and are recommended based on your placement.","cbCaihqL4UyTpWrm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihqL4UyTpWrm","pdf",245467,"English","# Math Pathways and Course Requirements\n## Technical and General Program Pathways\n## Math Placement Score Interpretations","[{\"question\":\"What are the primary math pathways in Idaho higher education?\",\"answer\":\"The Idaho State Board of Education identifies four distinct math pathways, each containing at least one GEM 3 course to support different programs of study.\"},{\"question\":\"How long are math placement scores valid?\",\"answer\":\"Most math placement scores are valid for four years from the date taken, while ISAT scores are valid for two years.\"},{\"question\":\"What should I do if I do not place into a GEM 3 math course?\",\"answer\":\"Students who do not meet the placement requirements for a GEM 3 course are required to take the listed prerequisite courses to build the necessary foundational skills.\"}]","Math Placement Interpretations - Program Pathways and Requirements | PDF",1790461491]
