These levels do not apply to DEV coursework from other institutions.  \nPLACEMENT SCORES & TRANSFER CREDITS  \n• Students who wish to challenge their current MPL should take WSU’s ALEKS Math Placement Test.  \n• Students should not test or retest once enrolled in statistics, math, or developmental math past the final drop date or after earning course letter grade.  \n• Transfer students who do not have transfer credit (within two years) for an equivalent WSU math course may take the ALEKS Math Placement Test.  \n• Scores are valid for two years. Students may use the highest valid non-expired score.  \nTO TAKE WSU’S REMOTE TEST-FROM-HOME ALEKS MATH PLACEMENT TEST  \n• The ALEKS Placement Test must be taken in a remote test-from-home setting. Register to complete the ALEKS Placement Assessment by visiting the following link.  \nDayton Campus & Lake Campus: [https://www.wright.edu/student-success/testing/math-placement-testing\\#registration](https://www.wright.edu/student-success/testing/math-placement-testing#registration).  \n• Students may retest 3 times within their 6 months of ALEKS Prep & Learning access. To retest, update online registration and finish ≥3 hours of P&L before each allowable retest. (There is a 48-hour wait period between tests.)  \nREMEDIATION-FREE STANDARDS  \nStudents with non-expired ACT math scores ≥ 22 or SAT math section scores ≥ 550 cannot be placed in developmental math due to state  \nremediation-free standards.  \nWRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY REV 11/18/2021","cbCaivYdlG0shfCt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivYdlG0shfCt","pdf",131045,"English","# Math Placement Level Policy\n## MPL score mapping and eligibility\n## Placement scores, transfer credits, and retesting rules\n## Remote ALEKS test requirements\n## Remediation-free standards","[{\"question\":\"How is a student’s Math Placement Level (MPL) determined?\",\"answer\":\"MPL is determined by multiple measures, including high school math course performance, ACT/SAT scores, and ALEKS placement test results.
