Students with disabilities should make sure to register with DRES and include the official DRES letter of accommodations the Department of Mathematics cannot review medical information or use high school accommodation letters. Students who would like to request a special accommodation such as extended testing time must contact after registering for the exam. When registering, list "conflict request" in the Accommodations question in addition to emailing. Conflict requests are subject to approval by the Undergraduate Office and will only be granted for compelling reasons such as those mentioned above (but not, for example, to accommodate personal travel schedules). Conflict exams are typically scheduled for the Wednesday evening following the regular exam time. To request the conflict option, contact at least one week before the exam date, indicating the proficiency exam you would like to take and providing details of your conflict (e.g., course and name/email of instructor in case of a conflict with a class). Students who cannot take the exam at the regular time because of religious obligations, conflicts with other proficiency exams outside the math department, scheduled university classes/labs, and other compelling academic conflicts, may request to take the conflict option. June 12, 2023, Math Proficiency Exam Registration Registration for each exam does not open until two weeks prior to the exam date. Students may register for only one exam for each exam date. Proficiency examinations are given twice during the fall semester, once near the beginning of spring semester, and once during the summer session. (Note: Fall semester Math 231 EL1/EL2 sections include material that is not part of the Math 231 proficiency exam.) Students needing credit for Math 221 may use Math 220 to fill any such requirement. An online search can provide study guides, practice exams, and even actual exams for recent offerings of these classes. The student must have solid command of the concepts and problem-solving skills for the course therefore, students should attempt a proficiency examination only after proper study and preparation. Students may acquire a course syllabus from the Department of Mathematics syllabi webpage. These examinations demand more than an elementary acquaintance with the course material. Proficiency examinations are not for placement or diagnostic purposes, but are only for awarding credit to students who demonstrate thorough knowledge of the course material. A proficiency examination is comparable to a three-hour written final examination in that course, and a grade of B- or better is needed for course credit to be awarded. The Department of Mathematics offers proficiency examinations in Math 220, 225, 231, 241, 285, and 415, to allow students to obtain college credit by demonstrating proficiency in the course material. ![]()
