Math Placement
Before you can take any math class at USC, you must show that you meet the required
prerequisites. For some classes, you can meet this requirement by taking a math placement
test. This assessment helps you understand your current math skills and indicates
which USC math courses you are prepared to take.
🚀 Starting Fall 2026?
New students must take the ALEKS PPL Math Placement Test before registering for math
