For students submitting SAT, the registrar converts to an equivalent ACT to compute MathIndex3.

Students with a Math ACT of 18 can register in MA 111 combined with A&S 121. Students with a Math ACT of 17 or less will take UK 101 (APP Student Success) (2 credit) . There are several alternative ways to place into MA 111 which are described by the Council on Post-Secondary Education (CPE) .  \n• All students receive a placement based on their Math ACT score. For students who present SAT scores, the table below gives equivalent Math SAT scores.  \n• We also provide most students a second recommendation using the MathIndex (officially, MathIndex3) which is based on the student’s Math ACT score and the students high school GPA (on a four point scale) . We believe the MathIndex is the most reliable predictor of student success in our courses.  \nFor students who have an SAT score, but not an ACT score, the registrar’s office will convert the Math SAT to an equivalent ACT score and use that to compute the MathIndex.  \n• Students may also take the ALEKS test which will provide a third recommendation on the courses for which a student is prepared. Students are encouraged to use the ALEKS system to review and strengthen their mathematics preparation. Students will need to take ALEKS in a proctored setting to use the score for placement.  \n• The Department’s placement recommendations will provide a list of courses that students may take. Students should work with their advisor to select the course that is needed for their major.  \n• Students who only need to satisfy the UK Core requirement for quantitative foundations should take MA 111 or one of the UK Core courses offered by other departments. The largest of these is PHI 120.  \n• Some students will receive different placements based on different placement indicators. In these cases, students are allowed to enroll in any course for which they earn placement. However, we encourage students to discuss their decision with their adviser and make use of the review modules within ALEKS.  \n• Students who do not have a Math ACT score or prior college work must take the ALEKS test and are placed based on their ALEKS scores.  \nThe cut scores or minimum scores needed to earn placement are as follows:  \n\n| Course | MathIndex3 | Math ACT | Math SAT2016 | ALEKS |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| MA 109 | 68 | 21 | 540 | 46 |\n| MA 110 | 76 | 23 * | 570* | 61 |\n| MA 111 | 62 | 19 | 500 | 30 |\n| MA 113/137 | 80 | 27 | 650 | 76 |\n| MA 123 | 78 | 26 | 620 | 61 |\n\n*Beginning Fall 2020 the cut scores for MA 110 will be ACT 25 and SAT2016 590.  \nDepartment of Mathematics May 30, 2019","cbCaiioWwJ6LFIIG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiioWwJ6LFIIG","pdf",97167,"English","# Mathematics Placement Recommendations\n## Placement indicators (AP credit, ACT/SAT, MathIndex3, ALEKS)\n## Registration requirements for MA courses\n## Course cut scores and minimums (MathIndex3, ACT, SAT2016, ALEKS)\n## Effective changes for MA 110 (Fall 2020)","[{\"question\":\"How are students typically placed into MA courses?\",\"answer\":\"Most students receive a placement based on their Math ACT score.
