MDPT (Mathematics Diagnostic Placement Test) Guide
The MDPT is being used as a diagnostic test to place students into an appropriate level math class, one that they can achieve success and understand the concepts that are being presented.
Starting Fall 2006 this test is mandatory for freshmen who want to take Math 119A or Math 122. Students who took the MDPT during Summer 2006 or student who are currently enrolled in, and passing the prerequisite to the above mathematics courses are exempt from taking the MDPT. In the future the MDPT will become a mandatory test for all incoming freshmen.
