Math Placement Exam (ALEKS)

Prior to registering in their first mathematics course at IU Kokomo, all entering freshman students are required to complete a proctored ALEKS mathematics placement assessment for appropriate course placement.

Students transferring to IU Kokomo who need a mathematics course will also be required to take the mathematics placement exam unless they have transfer credit for a college level mathematics course equivalent to a course offered at IU Kokomo, and no more than two years has elapsed since their last mathematics enrollment.

Non-Indiana University dual-credit mathematics courses taken in high school will not exempt students who need further mathematics courses from taking the mathematics placement exam.

Students who have earned an AP Calculus score of 3 or higher within the past two years do not need to take the ALEKS placement assessment. Any exceptions will be made by the advisor in consultation with the mathematics faculty.

This exam will take approximately two hours to complete.
