Most admission decisions are handled by the undergraduate admissions office and are based on ACT scores. If a student does not have ACT (or equivalent) scores, students are directed to the department chair who then has to determine the appropriate MATH classes to recommend. In such cases, the student will be directed to the department of mathematics to schedule one of the 3 KYOTE exams - College Readiness, College Algebra, or Calculus. It is wise to take some of the practice exams to see how they place.
Students may go to http://www.kyote.org
and choose the link for "Practice Exams" in the upper left panel of the page. There are 4 practice exams for the KYOTE Math College Readiness Exam. The answers to each are on the bottom of the page.
- A score of 0-8 would place you into MAT 095, after which you would take MAT 096, and then MAT 117.
- A score of 9-15 would place you in MAT 096 (which would suffice as a prerequisite for MAT 117, once completed).
- A score of 16-21 would place you into MAT 097, and then you would have to choose whether to take MAT 096 to get into MAT 117 or take MAT 097 with a view that in the future you might want to take a course that would require the stronger MAT 097 for a prerequisite.
Students planning on majoring in either of our undergraduate programs must start at MAT140 (or MAT150).
- Students going the MAT140 route will need a 14 on College Algebra Exam OR 27 on College Readiness Exam
- Students going the MAT150 route will need a 9 on KYOTE Calculus Exam
