Find Where You Belong

The math placement test can be taken and completed online by logging into Brightspace and then clicking on the tab “PFW No End Date Non-Credit.”

You should allow at least one hour for the math placement test. Calculators, TI84CE or below, are allowed, and you will need a pencil and scratch paper.

The math placement test may be retaken once. On a retest, the scores will either be the same, higher, or lower. The highest score will be used.

If you are a transfer or nondegree student and have taken English composition and/or math courses at another college or university, check with your Purdue Fort Wayne academic advising department about placement requirements. Information about your academic advising department is available through your goPFW account.
