The document explains how initial placement depends on Math ACT (or SAT) score and high school GPA, and how taking the MPE can qualify students for specific math courses such as Math 1511G (Calculus I). It outlines the exam structure into four parts with score-based placement guidance. It also provides additional sample questions: basic arithmetic review (first 15 problems) plus Algebra I problems (Parts I) and Algebra II problems (Part II), covering equations, factoring, functions, graphing, and modeling. A calculator policy is included.","Practice Problems for  \nMathematics Placement Examination (MPE)  \nRevised November, 2020  \nWhen you come to New Mexico State University, you may be asked to take the Mathematics Placement Examination (MPE). Your initial placement level is based on your Math ACT (or SAT) score and your high school grade point average. The MPE will help to determine in which mathematics course you will be placed. If you are dissatisfied with your initial placement, you may choose to take the MPE and achieve a qualifying score. If you wish to enroll in Math 1511G (Calculus I), you must take the MPE and achieve a qualifying score.  \nThe problems on this practice exam will help you review your mathematical skills and give you an idea ofwhat is on the test. The actual test is multiple-choice and has 40 problems broken down as follows:  \nPart I  \nPart II  \nPart III  \nPart IV  \n1-10 11-20 21-30 31-40  \nAlgebra I  \nAlgebra II Precalculus Algebra Trigonometry  \nThese sample problems are grouped in a similar manner. There are more problems here than there are on the actual exam.  \n\n| Placement Based on the Mathematics Placement Exam |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Placement Exam Score | Placement Level | Math Course Placement |\n| 0, 1, 2 or 3 on Part I | 0 | CCDM 103N |\n| 4 or 5 on Part I | 1 | CCDM 114N |\n| at least 6 on Part I | 2 | Math 1215, 1130G |\n| a total of at least 12 on Parts 1 and 2 | 3 | Math 1134, 1220G, 1350G, 2350G |\n| a total of at least 19 on Parts 1, 2 and 3 | 4 | Math 1430G, 1250G |\n| at least 6 on each of the 4 parts | 5 | Math 1511G, 1435 |\n\nNote: A calculator is neither required nor necessary. However, a basic calculator will be made available to you in Respondus LockDown Browser in the online exam. You may not use your own calculator.  \nPRACTICE PROBLEMS-Review of Basic Skills  \nThe first 15 problems given here are a review of basic arithmetic skills.
