How is math placement determined?
Starting Fall 2007, math placement will be determined by the math subscore of the ACT or SAT exam: Math placement rules are as follows: ACT / SAT Math Score Range Corresponding COMPASS Score Math course 17 or below / 515 or below 1 MA 100 (Basic Algebra) 18 to 24 / 515 to 570 2 MA 106 (Intermediate Algebra) 25 to 27 / 570 or above 3 Any math class numbered above 106 for which the student meets the prerequisites.
