Our institution has transitioned to a new math placement test, ALEKS PPL. Beginning in June 2026, all students enrolled prior to Summer 2026 are also eligible to take ALEKS PPL. This page provides information about the previous Math Assessment for Prerequisites (MAP) and is retained for reference only for students who completed MAP testing. Content on this page will not be updated and will remain available through 2026 for informational purposes.
About the MAP
The MAP is a timed, problem-solving assessment with three levels, each containing 10 questions to be solved in 30 minutes. You must complete MAP 1 and score 7 out of 10 before you can proceed to MAP 2, and a 7 out of 10 score on MAP 2 before you can proceed to MAP 3.

Topics covered in each level:
- MAP 1 - Basic Skills: Numerical computation, Order of Operations, Graph Interpretation, Finding the Value of a Function, Finding the Equation of a Line, Solving Linear and Quadratic Equations
- MAP 2 - Intermediate Skills: Finding the Domain of a Function, Solving Exponential and Logarithmic, Transformations of Functions, Factoring polynomials, Algebraic Simplification
- MAP 3 - Advanced Skills: Compositions of Functions, Inverse Functions, Trigonometric Functions in a Right Triangle, Using Inverse Trigonometric Functions, Solving Trigonometric Equations, Using Trigonometric identities, Graphing Elementary Functions
We want you to be successful in whatever MATH classes you take. The MAP helps determine your current MATH knowledge level. Your score determines what 100-level classes you may register to take.
