Comments:

Entering freshmen need an ACT Math score of at least 27 to enroll in MATH 1910. However, students scoring at level 4 or 5 on the Math Placement exam are allowed to enroll in MATH 1910. Please call the Math Department at (931) 372-3441 to arrange a date and time to officially take the Math Placement Exam. It is very similar to the practice version on this website.
Students who complete MATH 1730 or, MATH 1710 and 1720, each with "C" or better, are eligible to register for MATH 1910.
Entering freshmen need an ACT Math score of at least 25 to enroll in MATH 1830. However, students scoring at level 3 or higher on the Math Placement exam are allowed to enroll in MATH 1830. Please call the Math Department at (931) 372-3441 to arrange a date and time to officially take the Math Placement Exam. It is very similar to the practice version on this website.
Students in levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 planning to take pre-calculus need to decide whether they want to take MATH 1730 (5 credits) orMATH 1710 (3 credits) followed by MATH 1720 (3 credits). MATH 1710 and 1720 can be taken concurrently.

Mathematics Placement Warning: Ignoring placement recommendations may be detrimental to a student's GPA. Consequence ofignoring placement results may include:

Failure in the course. Please note that receiving a "D" in a prerequisite course does not permit the student to take a subsequentcourse for which this course is the prerequisite. Thus, in each case the course has to be repeated.
Severe damage to GPA
Loss of scholarship
Delay of graduation
Decrease in study time for other courses
Decrease in confidence in mathematics ability
