The next MDPT is scheduled for Saturday, January 26, 2013. You can register online by scrolling down to online registration on this page. This MDPT will be valid for placement spring 2013 through fall quarter 2013.

STARTING JUNE 25, 2011 THERE WILL BE AN $8.00 CHARGE TO TAKE THE MDPT. STUDENTS MUST BRING A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER TO THE TEST ON TESTING DAY MADE OUT TO CAL POLY POMONA. IT MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND BRONCO ID NUMBER WRITTEN IN THE MEMO LINE. CASH WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE EXAM WITHOUT PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER.

There are two tests: Mathematical Analysis (for MAT 12, 105, 106, 125, 191,194, and STA 120); and Pre-calculus (for MAT 112, 114, 120, 130). If the minimum score is not achieved on the appropriate MDPT, students will be required to take prerequisite classes before being eligible to register for their objective course. Please see (How to interpret the results of the MDPT) on the MDPT Information webpage for placement score cut-offs. Tests are given each quarter including the summer quarter.
