ALGEBRA SCORE	CLM (College Level Math) SCORE--MATH PLACEMENT IS COLOR CODED FOR MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
	0 - 39		40 - 65	66 - 94	95 & above
76-85	MAT 014, 101, 104, 107, BUS 115		MAT 014, 101, 104, 107, BUS 115	MAT 116, 123, 129A	MAT 123, 129A

100 & above	MAT 116, 123, 129A		MAT 116, 123, 129A	MAT 116 129	MAT 131, 131A
If a student has taken the SAT, the following table will indicate the corresponding Math course appropriate to the SAT Math score. Students who have taken the SAT prior to March 10, 2008 and have never attended MCC will also follow this new math grid
SAT Math Score		Math Placement
530 & higher		Exempt from Accuplacer Testing Eligible for MAT 014 (may challenge), 101, 104, 107 & BUS 115
Precalculus and Calculus Placement
530 - 559 and the student wants Precalculus		MAT 014 (may challenge); Precalculus placement based upon Mathematics Department diagnostic test
*560 or higher and the student wants Precalculus		Exempt from MAT 014; eligible for MAT 123. Must take Diagnostic Test to be eligible for MAT 129A or 129
576 - 649		Eligible to register for MAT 129 if NCWS demonstrates H.S. prerequisite of Algebra II
650 and higher		Student may choose MAT 123, 129A, 129, 131 or 131A
*Students who fall back to MAT 014 based on the diagnostic test will be eligible for MAT 090/129A.

For Math, if a student's CPT score places the student into MAT 010, 013 or 014, a challenge test is permitted for all score results. The following table provides the "cut scores" for the different Math challenges and the Precalculus Diagnostic Test.

MAT 010	0-19 (remains in MAT 010) 20-30 (passes out of MAT 010)
MAT 013	0-17 (remains in MAT 013) 18-25 (passes out of MAT 013)
MAT 014	0-17 (remains in MAT 014) 18-25 (passes out of MAT 014)
Precalculus	0-14 (must register for MAT 090/129A) 15-19 (MAT 129A) 20-29 (MAT 129) 30-32 (MAT 131)

All Math challenges must be completed before the start of the second week of class meetings.  Review materials are available to help them prepare for the math challenge tests. Students can pick up math review materials in the Testing Center (JLC 229).
