Math Placement Exam: DPCS (Evening and Weekend Division)

The Division of Professional and Continuing Studies requires all incoming Wentworth students to complete this exam to ensure they are placed at the appropriate level of mathematics.  It consists of three sections that correspond to our required series of courses:

Math 225

College Mathematics A

Math 230

College Mathematics B

Math 235

College Mathematics C

Depending on how students perform on this exam, you may be placed into a higher level class and awarded credit for its pre-requisites.  While results will not be used to place students in a lower level class, it may be recommended that they take MATH 120, Basic Algebra, to gain the foundation necessary to be successful in future courses.
