Students entering Suffolk University come from many different schools, countries and programs, which differ greatly in the kind and level of mathematics courses provided.
 
Because of these diverse mathematics backgrounds it is difficult for students to select courses, and for advisors to provide guidance.
 
To assist in this process, the MSC staff administers and grades a mathematics placement exam.  The Mathematics Placement Exam is given to all incoming freshmen and transfer students, and is provided during each orientation period.
 
To allow students to prepare for the exam, a packet of sample problems is mailed to incoming students in time for them to study for the exam. The exam is designed by a committee chosen from the mathematics faculty of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and includes problems ranging from quite elementary to quite advanced.  Questions which will help you to review for the Mathematics Placement Exam are provided through the link below.
