Optional Self-Placement Assessment Tool for Mathematics
This optional tool is designed to help you decide if you would benefit from completing a review course or co-enrolling in a support course along with your required math class. You will choose an assessment option based on expected enrollment in either MTH 111/132, MTH 154/155, or MTH 161. Then, based on the self-assessment results, a recommendation is provided for MDE 10 or 60, a MDE co-enrollment support course, or direct enrollment without MDE support.
You will need to enter an email address (a VHCC student email address is preferred if available, but is not required). The password for the assessment is demo.
