Math Placement
The Mathematics Department provides a placement exam for all students taking calculus. We ask that all students (Architecture, Art, Art & Sciences, Business, Engineering & Applied Science) who are planning to take a calculus course during their time at Washington University in St. Louis take this test online. You are exempt from this exam if you received a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus Test. If you are planning to take Calculus this fall, but did not receive a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus exam, be sure to take the Placement Exam prior to talking to your advisor and registering for classes: Questions about Mathematics should be directed to Blake Thornton. Students login to Canvas to complete the placement exam.
